Dancing in Church



Worship in a typical Ugandan village Church is incomplete without dancing. You can't really see it in the photo but this is a snapshot of the congregation dancing in the middle of a worship song that was very repetitive. The man whose back is to us in the photo is the "lead dancer" and was described by the pastor as "very dynamic". He comes out of the crowd and leads dancing when the time comes. He is very rhythmic and could easily make it as a dancer in America.

The man who translated for me, Kasito, told me that as far as he was concerned Bugembe First Baptist Church has the best dancing anywhere. I had little or nothing to compare it to but they were "enjoying the Lord" while I was going deaf next to the speaker and trying to keep up with the beat.

I suppose their might be dancing in heaven - I hope I can keep up!
