It is interesting how the various non-Catholic western groups have diverged.
At a mass which is the Divine Liturgy and the Eucharist, there are a minimum of two “cracking opening the Bible and reading directly from Scripture to those in attendance”. This is accompanied with singing, worship and the Eucharist.
Some groups diverged to just reading, others to the other extreme and just the praise and worship.
It was a new one on me.
But it was month-after-month for the 21 months or so I was there - which spanned 3 calendar years.
Plus I saw two people, including my boss, who had Obama-like mannerisms, get somewhat physical after I mentioned Scripture.
I say the likely reasons why are axiomatic.
