My wife and I are having dinner with her and her husband this evening, the invitation was "coffee, dinner, a beer, whatever" which, let me tell you, was freakin' weird. I mean, CoB and drinking was like oil and water. Even communion was with grape juice.

I was raised Church of Christ. The part at the end where everyone lines up and greets the pastor on the way out? Women didn't shake hands. They just bowed and said their salutations to the male pastor as they passed. And same with the grape juice.

But it was also the church that taught dancing was a sin, so the other stuff isn't too surprising looking back.
