Here's a likeable thread: Name something you like about a denomination (of Church) other than your own! (really, anything)

[ChristisGod]

There are precedents in scripture for using 'stringed instruments' in worship - and guitars are stringed instruments.

I like instruments but sometimes its a distraction

I agree. I visited another church one Sunday a few years ago and it was more like a concert than a worship service. My own church has a pianist and a guitar - very low key.

 

[Wynona]

Although I do not agree with this denomination stance on musical instruments I really like worship when the singing is acapella . The church of Christ.

Yes. Very lovely worship

 

[Wynona]

I actually enjoy Orthodox Christian hymns. Like this one

 

[St. SteVen]

Wonderful song, That Thing Goin Round! I wish it would go viral too. Oh the fear that brought out in so many, many people!
You're pretty good @St. SteVen have you posted these on YouTube?

Thanks for the listen and encouragement.
I only have one song on YouTube. I need visuals to go with them.

The song is titled Wallermeddon Armageddon.
The term wallermeddon I made up to tease my boys with when they were young.
I would talk about watermelon in the Summer but would say wallermeddon instead of watermelon.
They were confused enough by this that they couldn't remember the right way to say it. - LOL

The song is about a Wallermeddon monster that attacks a family picnic. All in fun.
I asked my son to do the animation if he wasn't still too traumatized by the memory. - LOL
No worries.

Wallermeddon...funny daddy! Ahaha, your son's psyche was protected by The Lord I see, his visuals are so cute! That's adorable.

Thanks.
I just remembered that I have three more songs on the YouTube channel odomodometer.
Michael Odom and I have collaborated on several songs. I'm usually the lyricist.

We just posted a new song titled Bookmark, on which I provided some vocals as well.
Another one titled Fresh Giblets, which is very grunge, as you would say.
And Orange (nothing rhymes with). A surprise for me using my lyrics.
Michael is from Charlotte, NC. We met on a songwriting forum. Very talented fellow.

I love Gregorian chant

 

[Cassandra]

StSteven you sound kinda like David Bowie to me

 

[Nancy]

I love Gregorian chant

I heard this recently and absolutely LOVE it. The reverence and use of scripture really touches me.

 

[Gottservant]

Something I like seeing is Mormons going about the place; I always feel like "Yes, the Lord is near!"

 

[ButterflyJones]

There is something I do admire about the Seventh Dayer's. No matter where they are in the whole world, their services are all on the same subject and same day. I would imagine that is pretty awesome if one is on vacation out of state, or abroad that, if they meet other SDA's they would have a very unified conversation.

Yes. I also like their dietary practices.

 

[ButterflyJones]

I love Gregorian chant

Absolutely.
Stained glass windows are a favorite. RCC have some of the best around here.

 

[St. SteVen]

Thanks. That's a new one. Many say I sound like Neal Young.
But I'll take the Bowie compliment any day. - LOL
May depend on the song. (vocal range)

Same here where I live. We have Catholic church's on every corner here on the south side of Buffalo.
It's also VERY Irish so, we also have bars on every block!
This is the big one just a few blocks from me, it's the Basilica. or Our Lady Of Victory. Chocked full with engraven images. SMH.

Beautiful stained glass. The architecture too. The domes reminds me of Greek Orthodox churches.

Hi there,

So this was a popular thread, back when I was posting on another board: Name something you like about a denomination (of Church) other than your own!

I would post something myself, but I don't want to prejudice others' ideas.

Are they (the other Churches) pro-active? Organized? Methodical? What?

We really should be learning from each other, don'tcha think?

I like the humanitarian works of the Catholic church.

It's funny you mention the Greek Orthodox as, the surrounding neighborhoods of the church have a sizeable amount of Greek Orthodox families, I've been to their fairs/festivals before. Food is good. We have many Greek restaurants in Buffalo area.

Gyros and stuffed grape leaves are my favorites.

Gyros and stuffed grape leaves are my favorites.

My faves are Lamb or chicken souvlakis, spanakopita, (like a spinach pie with great seasoning and very thin pastry crusts, layered) and to round it all off? Baklava!!!!!
Now I'm hungry...hmm.
