This morning I tagged along with Evangeline and a few people I met at breakfast to a church in Peckham, called All Saints Church. It's Anglican, so a little bit different. I like Hillsong, but the only this is that it's so far away, and the services go for 2 hours, and they're at really awkward times in terms of coming back here for meals.
Anyway, All Saints. It's not far, we walked. A bit more traditional, a bit more personal, more family oriented, more low tech, and more... what's the word for "unprofessional" but without the negative connotations? Unrehearsed? As in changeovers take a lot longer, everyone comes up and makes their own announcement regarding their own event rather than one person just skimming through it all, that kind of thing. The music was fairly modern, but the band was less tight. It wasn't a full band, just drums, acoustic x2 and keys.
The congregation was more. Conservative.
So I think I would only go back there if
(a) the girls and one boy from halls decide they want to go there, cos then we'll have our own little church community at halls, and
(b) I decide that Hillsong is too far away.
On another note, the weather is pretty hot, especially if you're walking. I'm wishing I brought my maxis.
