It was certainly a different experience. I suspect there are a lot of basic assumptions behind what was going on that I have not been exposed to so I can't really say I have any impression at all, at least until I feel I have some basic understanding. For example, the reasons behind all the different positions, the kneeling, the singing responses to things, etc. At least it kept me from being bored though, I liked that it was active. I understand basic Christian theology well enough, but there are also some centuries of tradition in addition to that.
Other than that, the acoustics of the place were simply awful and I could not understand most of what was spoken or sung due to the echo. We are going to sit closer next week to try to account for that. I am debating emailing one of the officials of the place to recommend a good 101 book to see if I can do some studying. I think once I understand some of the theory behind this practice, I might form an opinion.
The people were nice though and could tell I was an outsider and were generally very helpful.
