You make a good point. It seems that those who are more interested in a feeling based emotional experience in worship, tend to be attracted by the grand old churches with their emphasis on architecture, statues, and ritualistic practices. My observation is, generally speaking, that people who are attracted to this kind of assembly are apt to listen to and believe what the church dictates as doctrine rather than read and study the bible for themselves and allow the Holy Spirit to guide them.
At the same time there are Protestent churches who claim uninterupted unity with the New Testament Church practices that came to be at Pentecost. These churches emphasize Christ as the head of the church and that the church is the people that make up the body and not a building where one goes to worship. The only ritual that they practice is the Lord's Supper where they break bread and drink wine as Jesus commanded "do this in rememberance of me". These churches are void of crucifixes and statues and believe these things to be graven images or idols which divert peoples attention from the main focus of the assembly, which is to worship and glorify Christ.
With a break in continuity of what 1,800 years or so? Very original!
