If the sound guy you speak of is ONLY monitoring sound going on DVD or
other media, then having him in a booth is actually preferable. So he can
only hear what is going into or out of his machines.
But if this is a FOH engineer controlling the sound for the congregation,
then he really needs to be in the middle of the audience somewhere so he can
judge accordingly.
