But who is closer to the Old Testament culture here? I looked up "kneel(ing)" and "bow(ing)" in the good old BibleGateway Keyword Search, and found so many references it would be exhausting to list them all.

Why didn't you search the New Testament for examples for your New Testament church??? Did anyone bow to servants in the OT???

Here's a servant kneeling to a servant:

Matthew 18:26, 30
The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.' ... His fellow- servant fell to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.'

You really should try BibleGateway Keyword Search.
