In Waco, where I used to live, there was a highly liturgical Baptist church called DaySpring (http://www.ourdayspring.org). I was a minister at a different church at the time, but Alida and I attended DaySpring as often as possible since it had such an interesting and uplifting dynamic (plus their focus on social justice and truth was refreshing). A contemplative, liturgical Baptist church in the South...what will they think up next?!?
