I grew up in a Primitive Baptist church. Primitive Baptist doesn't mean what most people assume it means- the "primitive" part is supposed to mean "original," like the first Christians. All singing is a capella, baptisms are teens and adults only and by immersion, usually in a natural body of water, and so on. Services usually consisted of people giving their testimony aloud, first the saved men, then the saved women, then the unsaved men, then unsaved women. I don't actually know if that's how the original Christians did things (I sort of suspect not) but that's how this church thinks they did, so that's what they do. Incidentally, the church I went to was primitive in the more usual ways, too- no heat or electricity, no running water (we used outhouses), etc. There was a lot of strife and fighting- my brother and I called them "Lord-offs"- and I think I actually had church-related PTSD from it. I avoided church for a long time but then got the urge to go back. I went to a Quaker church for a while but I didn't really identify with the congregation as much as I identified with the larger church's teachings. I now go to an Episcopal (American Anglican) church that is very Quaker-like, and I identify as both Quaker and Anglican but mostly Quaker. I'm like [MENTION=4]cafe[/MENTION] in that I'm also kind of agnostic, but the church I go to is very open to questioning.
