[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been wanting to get anyone in my family interested in going to church with me again after not attending for a few years.

I’ve seen my opportunity recently.  My freshman son has been hanging out with new friends who have Christian faith (though not our denomination and honestly more fundamentalist than I would ever be comfortable with).  He knows the words to all the songs from Kanye’s Jesus is King and loves gospel music.  So I asked him if he’d go to church with me next week.  He said he’d like to attend if we can find a church with gospel music.

I attended St Augustine’s Catholic Church, historically black, here in DC maybe 30 years ago and they were welcoming.   I attended a gospel service in Harlem some years later and they were decidedly not.  I get it.  Even though I was invited by friends, it may have felt to the some parishioners like we were there to observe some kind of cultural performance.  Like we were intruding.

So here’s my question.  Can I take my son to St Augustine’s as a way of reviving his interest in church?  [/quote]
