In Detroit, Michigan as a kid we had all these kinds of Churches in The walking “Vicinity”! .
We as kids used to walk in them to see what they look like on the inside. “Boy Scout meetings, we Could sing “Sacred Heart” music in “ Italian“ and Latin. Grammar school kids!
And we knew art! From grammar and black and white TV. From “Hunchback of Notre Dame to Martin Luther” to “Livingstone” and That other guy!
“David Livingstone”
From “ Spencer Tracy to “Father Flanagan”!
They did not flood us with the Concept of church but “Missionary” missions and their works. not like today, Christian music is nothing but entertaining and christianity is about going to a church with entertaining and church food pantries programs labeled “The Act of Worshipping GOD”
Song Book, below. We used to just read the Songs books, and many Illiterate, Christian knew the walk of A Child of GOD by knowing these songs. Many did not know how to read, no matter what color or Nationality you were, but The Songs were “Theological Sound”.
