text: who knows something about pentecostal ceremonies? i am looking for the words that would accompany the pentecostal footwashing ceremony, or, any links to where i can listen to a sermon given at a foot washing, or maybe watch one.  no kinky stuff - i am doing some research here; i genuinely want to understand or get a feel for how such a ceremony is conducted.  you can spare me the comments to on pentecostalism being a bunch of right wing whacko nutjobs.  maybe not, maybe so.  i'm not looking for a debate, just the 411, please... 1. under the leadership of your pastor or group leader, each    participating person writes his own name on a piece of paper which is    then put into a box, to be drawn. participation should be voluntary,    but all christians should be encouraged to participate.        2. then, each participant draws one name randomly from the box. this    is the name of his "footwash partner" for this ceremony. as each    person draws a name, he reads the name out loud and pairs off with his    footwash partner. people whose names have already been drawn will    already have a footwash partner, the person who drew their name, so    they will not draw a name from the box. if you draw your own name or    the name of someone who has already been paired off, discard that name    and draw another. thus, all participants will be grouped into pairs.    try to get an even number of participants in each ceremony, so no one    is left without a partner.        make no distinction by age, sex, or marital status. it should be a    pure random drawing, which represents the fact that all christians are    entitled to give and receive foot washing to and from all other    christians.        3. each participant should provide his own water, basin, and towel to    wash the feet of his footwash partner. (optionally, the church or    worship group can provide these supplies.) jesus makes no mention of    using soap or oil, so soap or oil are not needed.        4. all the footwashing should be done at the same time, with the    person who did the drawing washing his partner's feet first, then    getting his own feet washed afterwards, by his partner. once the    pairing-off is accomplished, the procedure should only take a few    minutes to do.        5. a new drawing should be conducted for each footwashing ceremony, so    that the footwash partners are constantly being changed. it is    understood that this level of physical intimacy, conducted randomly    with fellow christians, is not usual in modern life. too bad. it    should be. it was clearly the lord's intention that we should care    directly for each other's physical needs, as if they were our own.        6. before the footwashing begins, the leader of the ceremony should    read the authorizing scriptures, john 13:13-15, then he    should pray a prayer similar to the following:       o lord, we try to follow your commands, including your command for      us to wash each other's feet. please be with now as we demonstrate      our love for one another, as you have loved us. in jesus' holy name      we pray, amen.      6. the footwashing ceremony should be conducted with the same    frequency as holy communion, recommended at least once a month,    preferably each week or more frequently.        may the lord richly bless you as you try each day to live by his    commands.      yours in christ,       bill mcginnis  <><      bmcgin@patriot.net      http://www.patriot.net/users/bmcgin/chapel.html           http://www.loveallpeople.org           http://www.internetdailychapel.org      contact: bmcgin@patriot.net.
