An Ethiopian Orthodox congregation bought a church in our neighborhood from a Baptist congregation that had become too small. The place looks packed during services. The women dress to the nines in beautiful dresses and shawls.

Yes, generally all in white. If you were to go inside, you would notice that the women take their shoes off before entering the nave, because that is God's House and thus holy ground. America is blessed to have such people as immigrants.
