Where I am presently living "many" of the churches (not ours) participate in a quarterly preaching and music extravaganza. This is made up of several churches (Baptists, Lutheran, Catholic, Episcopal, Methodists, Presby USA, CoG, AoG, and some others). Normally they have at least two speakers (two different congregations) and have what I would refer to as a choir hoe-down ([img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin[/img]). People see "different" things in different groups and think it would be "neat" to incorporate "something new" into their worship services. Since, there is a mixture of theology taught "some" think that "everything" is OK as long as you are a Christian. This is indeed a sad state of affairs.
