And what do we call a Church of South India member performing a pooja at an ostensibly Hindu temple?

A Priest?
No. (Hmmm... apparently it's not called a pooja if it looks like rather like a home pooja, is performed at a temple, but not by a priest? At least, this wiki description makes it sound such. So, whatever.)

Tamil of course. Never heard of Goan or Tulu or Malayali Christians going for this syncretist stuff.

I don't find BushOklahoma being a fan of a conservative Baptist surprising at all...

Yeah he's conservative (theologically), and a Baptist, but Piper is a little more intellectual and theological than I would have imagined BushOK would be into; he's essentially a Charismatic Presbyterian who baptizes adults. He's hardly the typical SBC megachurch guy (he's not even SBC)...



One thing you should know about me, while I am a Southern Baptist, I am a Christian first.  I can worship with anybody so long as they believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that He rose again and lives today.  The other items are just "stuff".  Plus, I am a little more liberal than a lot of Southern Baptists.  For instance, I am in favor of civil unions and not 100% opposed to gay marriage.  Plus, I voted for President Obama and actually respect Nancy Pelosi which is almost a no-no in Southern Baptist circles, especially in red-state Oklahoma.  My theology is also just a little different.  I believe in the election of the saints as described in Romans 8.  I am quasi-Calvinist.  I am not fully Calvinist (complete predestination) and I am not fully Armenianist (complete free-will).  I am what you would call a "graceman" where I have tendencies on both sides and believe everything that is done in our lives is a reflection of grace, and I do subscribe to the "TULIP" doctrine, even though it's not 100% Biblical.  That's kind of where John Piper comes in.  I agree with his theology most of the time.  At my church, my pastor, who is also my cousin, takes everything in the Bible at face value, and believes whatever it says and believes it happened exactly how it was written.  He likes to go back to the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts to get the true meaning of Scripture.

Charismatic (IHOP, Jesus Culture and friends from Chicago account here)

You know, after looking up a few Jesus Culture songs that have been covered by my church's worship band, I've decided that obviously some in their band must like real emo and post-hardcore. This song for example (which is actually really good) has a dynamic and length that was used all the time by 90s emo bands, that's basically where the "slow part in the middle and lots of build-up to the end" thing came from, it was a textbook trait of 90s emo. That might part of why their music is much better than most Christian rock, which is overwhelmingly crap (of course I know for a fact thankfully that people in my church's worship band like good music, some of them wear good bands' shirts and I even ran into one at an Explosions in the Sky show. They even once covered a hymn making it sound like Pavement!)

You should've heard some of the stuff we were doing back in the mid-late 90's it ran the gamut from Dylanesque folk-rock to what the Vineyard was sending out (I was into the Vineyard style an this is where Lifehouse got started) to southern blues/soul style that came out of the Brownsville revival.

Ugh, Lifehouse. No interest in hearing anything like that. But that's not what my Vineyard church is about as noted, more like often post-rock influenced indie rock and post-hardcore. I do wish church bands would cover Mineral songs though, TheLastWordIsRejoice even sound-wise is pretty hand-raising-esque.

I most certainly wouldn't be going to church regularly if all the ones near me played only really boring traditional church music or that awful typical Christian rock.
