Baptists. my church sounds a lot like embed.

Of course when you watch a YT video you hear the pastor's voice most because he has the microphone.

all the baptist churches i've been to just sang old hymns with organ/piano accompaniment.

i'm aware that rock n' roll baptist churches exist though.

Well, all the Baptist churches I've attended sang pop-ish songs. More upbeat and featured piano and drums, sometimes guitar and violin.

I'm more of the acapella guy.

>>602468

Where you from?

>>602470

Canada.

>>602457

My church only has a piano, and we sing the old hymns.

Sunday we even sang 'A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.'

i have nothing else interesting to add to this conversation, but i want to post more singin'

>>602474

Me too. I figure it's the corrupting influence of (((televangelists))) and (((charismatics))).

>I'm more of the acapella guy

same. Free Church of Scotland congregations still sing metric psalms acapella, if you like this best bet is finding some Presbyetarian service with roots in Scotland, although guess most still use guitars etc. like most nowadays.

These guys are also great (the best church music imo), see their acapella version of the classic in this vid >>602463, don't know if there are associated groups in Canada that do singing sessions around the place, email them and ask (see their website). Failing that you can also join a sacred harp session, which I'm going to do somepoint.

>sacred harp

vid for reference

What do you guys think of having groups preform for the rest of the church?

Here's a beautiful family singing my favourite hymn.

And finally, not that I've explored it much, but there's the stateside mountain music evolution of those metric psalms style hymns in what are known as "old regular baptist" churches with "lined out" singing - all of the above clearly linked historically/culturally/stylistically from the migration from scotland, ireland, england across the pond way back

>>602457

You could consider ACNA.

>>602474

Where in Canada?

>>602565

I love Pastor McMurtry's church

>>602457

many baptist churches still just go with old hymns and a piano. They don't go high church ever.

Lutherans can get high church as fuck, to the point that if you can't spot the little differences in a catholic mass and a lutheran mass, you likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Like "huh, is this a corporate confession or a penitential act" sort of differences. To the point that I could show up at a catholic cathedral basilica, know only that I need to genuflect before I sit down, and that catholics say "and with your spirit" and I could follow the order of mass perfectly without reading their handouts or missals. To the point that I was giving responsorials from memory of my own church's liturgy.

>>602463

This sounds a lot like my old baptist church

Thank you, it was nice to listen to

Puritan churches only sing songs and only a capella

>>602794

come out of her, my people ;_;

come home ;_;

I would argue that a sometimes Lutheran Services can be MORE high church than Catholic Mass because 1. The celebrant faces the altar, and 2. The Eucharist is often received at the altar. This doesn't mean that that is always the case, but there are plenty of instances where I think a well-celebrated Lutheran Mass is more reverent than Novus Ordo at the very least.

>>603124

I am fully convinced, there is no turning back for me

embed related is objectively the best hymn

>>603124

>come home

no u

>>603121

i'm moving from canada to the US to get to a good Church

>>603125

>The celebrant faces the altar

eh, not always or even usually. I've never seen a lutheran pastor consecrate ad orientem at all in real life honestly.

>The Eucharist is often received at the altar

Typical method is at the rail, not the altar itself. How close to the altar you are depends on the architecture of the building.

>I think a well-celebrated Lutheran Mass is more reverent than Novus Ordo at the very least.

certainly, but this hinges on "well-celebrated"…by the same token, though, your local lutheran church's idea of a "traditional service" is probably is closer to a "decent" novus ordo mass than it is to some grand high extraordinary form mass. Thinking about my own church, we only have better looking services because of the architecture – we have an old building since the region is historically lutheran, the catholics have a modernist building. The order of the mass isn't much different between us.

Novus Ordo isn't as shitty as extraordinary form fags and sedes make it out to be either. Sure, there's weird ass abuses like clown masses and all that, but go to your local Bishop's cathedral and attend the mass. Even if it's novus ordo, it's likely going to be more reverent than what you see in the parishes simply due to the circumstances.

Also, lutherans have something far worse than novus ordo – being influenced by other protestantisms, many lutheran churches hold outright low services, with no liturgy at all, guitars, and all that other nonsense. Sometimes they hold them side by side at different times, and sometimes they hold only the modernist services.

so, all in all, everyone has their fuckups.

oh piss off with this shitty forced meme
