Charismatic or Traditional?
-
What is so "wow"?Originally posted by Icemoon:I only went there for midweek bible study, on and off. The only diff bet. the midweek and sunday one is no eucharist. They still worship, have offerings, and bible study is more interesting than sermon .. whaahah
But hey .. charismatic church pattern standard one .. songs also pretty much standard .. that time I went Catholic Tridentine service I was like wow!
I also prefer bible study to sermons. At least smaller group, closer to one another. During sermon, you can't pause and ask questions.
Charismatic songs are much livelier. Everyone seems so happy. It's good idea to attend Charismatics on special occassions like Christmas and Easter. -
wow cos we get to see traditions in their original form, many of which you don't see today even in a Catholic traditional service. wow cos the priest says things you don't understand fully .. wahah .. but they got give the lines and translations lah .. but stand stand sit sit until I was so confused .. haha
NCC's bible study is like sermon .. just that the topic is bible study and not everyday living topic like sermon.
Charismatic songs give no choral satisfaction .. the choir is there but do you hear their voices? I think Tridentine Mass with choir singing Latin songs will be a test of skill. Hmm .. ironically I never hear b4 Protestant choir singing hymns .. cos not many big churches are traditional nowadays.
Christmas sing carol songs liao .. haha -
in australia... we have certain masses conducted in latin... pretty coolOriginally posted by Honeybunz:What is so "wow"?

Attended Latin Mass only once with a few youngsters cuz we were all curious. It was conducted by Fr Alfred Chan. But soon after that he was trsf to the seminary to train the priest-trainees.

I never get a chance to attend Mass in overseas. I always have difficulties locating them. Once I was in USA, the nearest Catholic Church was 4 miles away! Only attended 1 in HK, but I was pretty late!

Of course not. If NCC gives latin mass .. pigs can fly.Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:You didn't happen to attend it at Suntec or something right?
I attended it at Holy Cross, Singapore. -
Nah. If I'm not wrong, the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) has latin Masses there. Don't go for them. They are schismatics.Originally posted by Icemoon:Of course not. If NCC gives latin mass .. pigs can fly.

I would say my church is a bit of both. So I can tahan moderate amounts of both forms of worship. But I'm inclined to traditional worship. I cringe when the whole church jumps fervently in worship, especially when I feel unmoved
I also tend to like systematic preaching instead of a boisterous speaker stirring emotions. -
was it in Cantonese?Originally posted by Honeybunz: I never get a chance to attend Mass in overseas. I always have difficulties locating them. Once I was in USA, the nearest Catholic Church was 4 miles away! Only attended 1 in HK, but I was pretty late! -
