If we as a society had the practice of washing our feet prior to coming into a house after a dusty walk, then the practice would have had more significance for you(...especially if the pastor and deacons of a church had done the foot washing....as a way of explaining how Christ was a servant to us all and so were they). If you read the story, Christ washed all of his disciples feet and gave a lesson on Christian love and Christian leadership...”He who is the leader of all is the servant of all”

I think the way that these foot washing services go...with everyone washing each other’s feet... that Christ’s massage of servant hood and leadership is lost or diluted. To see immoral DEM politicians do it like Pelosi is cynical and is a mockery to Christ!

Yep. The problem is that we are so removed from such a time that although we can get the message through words, the symbolic washing of feet just feels stupid.
