Midnight Jesus: the candlelight service

A host recounts visiting an old-school denominational church downtown for a late-night Christmas Eve candlelight service after Pathway's own service. He describes the cross-and-Bible processional, a 'peace lantern' lit from a fire at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the impersonal hidden choir and brass, and leaving halfway through. The visit prompts reflection on what non-denominational churches gain and lose by skipping tradition, and the value of church history's stories of God working through people.
