Skits are common in protestant churches today, particularly of the evangelical persuasion. I’m unfond of them, but our own church has them occasionally, like when a parishioner dressed up as a homeless person and ran crying for help down the aisle. Some sort of lesson on helping the less fortunate ensued.I *hate* that stuff. A relative moved from an episcopalian to an "Anglican" evangelical church. They do stupid crud like that all the time. I actually feel ill going to the service because it's like I'm a participant in Jerry Springer.So it’s not unfeasible that folks thought this was something of the sort. For a few seconds at least.
I may go Catholic just to have a normal service if this keeps up.
Don't give up if you don't find one right away!!!
That is what we did.
That’s the thing, isn’t it? When I go to church I want to worship the old fashioned way.
LOL! Jerry Springer. It is sad but some of the churches feel they have to this sort of entertainment to attract the faithful.
The other thing is evangelicals and other denominations turning services into rock concerts. Often they are loser rock star wannabes.
I am not Christian bashing as I am one but some of this cheezy praise rock music is junk. This is particularly depressing when Catholic and Protestant denominations have such incredible music written for church services including Bach, Handel, Mozart plus Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Pergolesi, Albanoni, etc etc.
Mozart’s Requeim is just staggering. The female choral parts beseeching the lord to show mercy on their departed souls and sounding like angels as they sing. The male choir singing about fire and damnation. Pure genius.
