I was trying to find a website for a festival I want to apply to and ended up finding a church website that proclaimed in large letters "Who says Church is stuffy! Who says God isn't fun!"
I guess they don't bother with the Old Testament, then.

I just got home from singing in Holy Thursday services, and your timing just could not have been better. I sat in the choir, watching as everyone lined up to get his/her feet washed, and then watched as the priests filled the church with incense smoke, paraded the Host around the church (while we all sang something rather sad) and then locked it up until Easter. The organ was also silenced until Easter Vigil (since Good Friday is the most solemn day of the liturgical calendar). We all filed out in silence, when it was over.
How could I have missed all the fun, there! Clearly, the foot thing is some sort of kinky fetish, that I just didn't get! And what I thought was the aroma of incense? Undoubtedly dope!
