I just don't like the Evangalistic type dogma. I don't like the minister going into a trance preaching (which does happen in a lot of Black churches, but also in the "holy roller" churches too). Basically, I just don't like being preached to, but that's just me. You get the sermon or homily at the Catholic church, or the mainline Prtoestant churches, but it's not like those screaming and hollering trance like sermons.I do agree with you on the music in Black churches, that's probably what I liked better about the AME church vs the regular Metholdist churches, and also even in other Black churches. I like the choir swaying back and forth singing as many black churches do, but I just can't handle the "preachy" type of sermons, THAT I can't handle. As for length, yes, Catholic churches...aside from Good Friday or Palm Sunday when they do the whole Passion, you are GUARANTEED in and out in 45 minutes to an hour at any Catholic church....the Protestant mainline ones are about an hour, but can go over....and the Evangalistic....yes, it can take hours, some even spend all day in church. I have a friend from college that became a Morman when he met his wife, and he spends the entire Sunday in church, and other days of the week he goes in the evening. THAT I really can't handle. We are still friends, but it's not like it used to be...he learned very quick not to start on "trying to save me", and once we got past that, we can still be friends, lol. |
