Stretching my brain a little

I was talking with someone who mentioned that his church has a cantor. I had never heard of a cantor in a Christian church - apparently it's what we called "soloist" at my parents' church.

My father was a cantor in his Roman Catholic church for several years. It meant leading some songs and doing some readings, I think. It was a volunteer lay position, rotated among a few people.
