What was it that was so different? If you don't mind me asking? Went to my grandmothers funeral at an anglican church (although i dont like to use denominational titles- i go to an independent Baptist church) Service began with a procession with people in long robes carrying crosses with poles At the front of a church was something like an altar with a gold cross with Jesus on it. Numerous times throughout the service the robed people passed in, whenver they did, they'd bow or kneel before it. Happened multiple times (we will use the altar only for prayer) Throughout the service as someone said something, the congregation would recite a refrain to it. Sometimes making the sign of the cross as they did. In the funeral pamplet , there was a series of mantras to recite, such as the apostles creed and a Nunc Demittis (we do no recitations) At the end the preacher came and put incense and sprinkled water on the coffin (no such thing doen at ours) There was communion in the service open to anyone (in m church the pastor specifies its only available to born again believers ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW ? How to test in such a circumstance? Or no need to ? When we go to a grocery store, we don't test everything in the store, or even read the ingredients in everything, do we ? Just test / read/ what we are going to put into our bodies or our children's/ our family or friend's bodies ? When the Apostles went anywhere like Athens with all the various idols and idol worship, they preached against it, but did not take it into their beliefs, nor accept it as proper worship or service to the One True YHVH in JESUS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not have to join in with the kneeling, or the reciting, or even partake in the communion if you feel it is not right to do at the time. To see how churches differ from your own can be a good experience as well as educational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
