Protestant Church Experience For my place of worship, I chose the Central Presbyterian Church (CPC) in Clayton. As I walked up to this unfamiliar church I noticed that it didn’t look too much different than the Catholic buildings I am used to seeing. I don’t know much about building structure but it seemed to be gothic with a touch of baroque and it had beautiful stained glass windows like most Catholic churches do. From an outsider’s perspective this could have actually been a church of my own denomination but I was soon snapped back into reality as the mass proceeded. As I walked in, wondering if I should make the sign of the cross or genuflect, I was escorted to a seat in one of the back pews. Soon the preacher and members of the choir were speedily walking down the aisle. I found this rather odd, since I am used to seeing the priest and the servers in robes walking somberly to the front of the church. As the people took their places, a man who was not the reverend welcomed everyone while incorporating some of the liturgy into his speech. He pointed out the main church, about, reverend, mass, because, actually, while, very, really, people, don’t, am, songs, seemed, presbyterian, prayers, much, know, god, different, congregation, worship, though, should, sermon, same, out, one, make, lives, liked, just, instead, however, even
