1. Or something suitably respectful and mournful
Though I agree, AG does move a lot of folks. (Not sure if it means as much to people from other faiths, though)

4. You're right
It might be disrepectful to other religions.

5. Actually,
I know Sufis who have used the tune to sing our grace-"Oh Thou, the Sustainer of our bodies hearts, and souls, Bless all that we receive in thankfulness" repeated twice before "Amin".

6. I was thinking the same thing.
Especially since it's what they play at police and firefighter funerals...

7. I wish there'd have been more singing
I kept thinking of that song the soldiers sang in "Glory" just before their battle. Each soldier did sort of a Rap/prayer/comment.

Amazing Grace is always a plus!!
