So the founding pastor of the Bible Presbyterian movement dies and at the vigil service, I saw faces of old acquaintances from the church before the split. Interesting that death brings people of polar positions together, even if only for 2 hours, even if it's all just a matter of obligation.
The BP movement can probably be considered really fundamentalist (the term has taken quite a bashing especially due to the whole feminist group saga). Worship means hymn books piano organ (no drums electric guitar dancing clapping jumping tonguespeaking). Mostly, they use the King James Version of the Bible - i.e the one with the most archaic, (but very poetic) English. They take a separatist stance on doctrinal issues, which explains why the BP church history is fraught with splits.
This is an experimental post on religion. It has occured to me that in all my compartmentalisation I have effectively managed to exclude talking about Christianity on my blog, or to anyone who isn't Christian. Ironic, given that it matters more to me than cello or any other thing.
