Abyssinian Baptist Church
I've been invited to something called the Abyssinian Baptist Church.
Getting there means travel but my real concern is whether or not it's a true Baptist Church? I know there's been Belgian influence, flooding in from the Belgian Congo aka Zaire, where the head guy changed his name to Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga, something of a red flag in its own right. Now, of course, they've become a "The Demoratic.." something-or-other, even more alarming than "The Former.." prefixed to holiday destinations. And whatever they call themselves now, this piece of geography is very much The Former Abyssinia.
If I attend this Church, will there be zany rituals, far-out dancing, eerie drumbeats or out-of-time hand-clapping? My concerns are that if it is NOT in fact a True Baptist congregation, there could be a demonic presence waiting to attack me, approaching the severity of a catholic mass or even The Zen.
Any advice, of benefit to others too, will be appreciated.
