Last year our awesome traditional worship service was hijacked with awful songs many cannot sing and empty words and now we have slides that have the prayers on them (no bowing of head), some cheesy movies, etc....and we also have a contemporary service where they could well do this but forcing it on those of us who are very traditional.

Now, after finding what I wanted for years, I am not attending regular church and need to find a new one.

Funny as 30-40 year olds think like this but the 50-60 running the churches think they want entertainment!

That’s what ruined my old church. As the old folks died off, they were replaced by liberal college grads who had been indoctrinated in academia. They thought that the church needed ‘new blood’. Well, we got the new blood and they destroyed the place.

Without knowing your historical worship practices, let me recommend that you investigate the Orthodox Church. It is always traditional, and NEVER has any of the new-agey entertainment silliness that seems to be in so many churches these days. The church I attend is a ROCOR (Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia) church, but there are many others that might be more suitable for you. If you’re interested, send me a private message and I’ll help you find a nearby church to investigate.
