This morning we went to church at a non denominational church here that is not actually supported by the government. There was some great contemporary music, some German versions of songs that I already knew in English (like Majesty for example: Majestät). It was much different of course than the hymns that we sing at the Burg Kirche in Ingelheim. The sermon was quite theological in content, drawing from Romans significantly, and elaborating on how we belong to God, and are in and have our names written on his hands. It turned out to last about two hours, and there were people speaking in tongues both on stage and in the congregation. There was no one there to interpret though (to English or German), and they kept on repeating over and over what they were saying. I had never witnessed anything like that before. It was quite the experience. After church we had some lunch, I hung around for a while then headed back in the afternoon, amidst the rain that was still coming down, to the Hauptbahnhof and then of course to Ingelheim. I really wish that I had brought along an umbrella from home that wasn't broken three times over. The rain kind of kept me inside today, listening to music and reading.
