I love it. It is so different from LDS Sacrament meetings which I always found so *blah*. For those who follow Christian music, the band Casting Crowns started in a Southern Baptist Church in Georgia. So, although more fundamentalist Baptists (say Independent Baptists) don't heavily "worship" with music, many Baptists do. My church is actually getting ready to move to having a traditional service and a contemparary service. My family and I will likely head the contemparary route.<BR/><BR/>God Bless and Happy Easter!!<BR/><BR/>DarrellDarrellhttp://www.toughquestionsanswered.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-431135023103819088.post-50521618232029605482009-04-03T22:45:00.000-06:002009-04-03T22:45:00.000-06:00Thanks for the thoughtful response.

I think our Sundays tend to be just a little too busy sometimes, and it ceases to be the day of rest the Lord intended it to be.<BR/><BR/>Not saying I don't still totally believe in Mormonism and adhere to it. I do believe in it.<BR/><BR/>I just don't think we've worked out all the kinks in the system. And I'll admit I get mighty jealous at descriptions of Eastern Orthodox worship, with it's rich symbolism and scope of personal ritual.<BR/><BR/>But one final note - do keep an open mind as to what constitutes "worship." Worship can come from a lot of odd places. Make sure you don't overlook it just because it looks unfamiliar.Seth R.http://www.nine-moons.comnoreply@blogger.com
