Yesterday I went to church twice. I know, that really is taking it too far but it was Nativity in morning (11 year old niece was "behind the scenes"). Evening was more traditional, carols by candlelight in a proper church.
Both churches are CofE, but there similarity ends. The first one is the "happy clappy" type which leaves me cold; the kids have better organisational skills than the vicar! The latter is my aunt's local parish church. Only problem was they dimmed all the main lights so you couldn't read the order of service, but the atmosphere was great and there wasn't a spare pew to be had. I'm not the religious type but I felt uplifted. I can't hold a tune but appreciate good music and you can't beat a good choir and organist....
