when I stated that I didn't feel God's presence in the Protestant Churches that I was in. I didn't mean that there was a coldness there. Infact, they were warm ,lovely services.

I meant in the "Catholic" way of the presence of God. In a Catholic Church there is a consecrated host in the tabernacle in every Catholic Church. There is a lit red votive candle, which means that the real presence of God,is there, I really feel God's presence when I walk into a Catholic Church.

The feeling one gets in the transubstantiaton during the Mass, is so powerful, and beautiful.

and I appreciate that, and I believe totally in what you were saying. I was just adding another dimension to it. Putting a different spin on it sort of thing. In Synagogues there is the "Torah" and it is kept in a Holy place and taken out for services, which is powerful and beautiful too. :-)

when I was 8 years old, but not for a service. Every Saturday morning I went for ballet lessons at the Trinity Lutheran Church in my hometown. The synagogue was a few doors down from the Lutheran Church. As we were walking past the synagogue we noticed that the doors were open. So, my mom and I walked in. Inside, was a gentleman that was a regular customer at my families restaurant. He was very kind, and gave my mom and I a tour.

Did you find your "tour" of the Synagogue a little awesome, in a wondering way? When I enter a Church I get such a feeling. It is bigger than I and unknown to me. You must know what I mean.
