That Sunday morning I walked into the strangest room I had ever been in. Apart from the colourful pictures, the warm candles and the sweet-smelling incense, I noticed a few other things as well:
First, there were actually men in this Church, leading it in the way men were supposed to lead.
Secondly, the women all
filed in wearing different coloured versions of my exact outfit: long
sleeved shirts, long loose skirts, and head-coverings.
Thirdly, I heard more
of the Bible during that service than I had collectively heard at every
Methodist service I had ever been in. And fourthly, it was obvious that
every person in that building, was there for one reason: to worship God.
This was no comfortable, entertaining rock concert. This was pure,
reverent worship. No pretence.[sic]
