Nor do they use the same funeral services. Found this out when my white father died and used a black funeral home. His family from rural VA was surprised, to say the least.  :lol: [/quote]

Yes, to all of the above, and we sing our gospel songs differently. We yell obnoxiously and dance everywhere, our white Christian believers like Christian rock. But my eyes are opened to the entire world of Christian music now, thanks to the internet and not being limited to Southern Baptist churches where everyone gets the holy ghost and starts sweating at 12:30PM.

Not all black Christians are Protestants. You were this many days old when you found that out.

Wait what? Did I miss the Protestant part? [/quote]

They can be Catholic. A Protestant is a non Catholic Christian. [/quote]

Pp here, my dad was black catholic, mom was black southern baptist [/quote]

There are also thousands of Ethiopian Christians in this area. They are both non-Catholic and non-Protestant. It’s an ancient Orthodox form of Christianity.[/quote]

Interesting. What do they believe? Is their worship different?[/quote]

Orthodox. Like Eastern Orthodox like you get in Russia but slightly different theology.  [/quote]

Russian Orthodox isn’t the same as Eastern Orthodox.  It was a division, but has separated from the rest over recognition of Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
