Looking for churches is an interesting experience. Over the years I’ve had opportunity to look for churches many times and I’ve often run into some weird things.
I’m curious what’s the weirdest thing you’ve run into visiting a new church?
My answers in the thread below and in no particular order.
@jfslicer OK since you ask...
1) "Toronto" - I could leave it there, but it was amazing how there was _always_ _someone_ ready to catch when people _spontaneously_ fell over...
1b) approaching interval between two consecutive services - "let's get the chairs out the way for _when_ the holy spirit moves". When... *cough*
@jfslicer 2) new trick mid-"worship" session: have everybody do double-arm waist-bows at each point of the compass declaring "Jesus is lord of <town-name>"
2) "Just go find someone and pray for them" - the eejit who chose to stand beside me and place paw on shoulder and "pray", knowing precisely less than zero about me as a visitor to the church, learned the error of his presumptuous ways with one heck of a death-stare.
I think that'll do for now :)
@jfslicer Hmm yes. Churches do get stuck in these fads, sometimes on a geographical basis... If it's not snakes it's something else.
Sometimes the apparent motivation "we've got this crowd now what shall we do with them?" is not far below the surface.
