We had one of our fellow clergy in the circuit leave Lutheranism last year. He's leading cowboy church now (among other things, I suppose). Out here is big Methodist country, so "Divine Service" isn't going to be on the radar. This is beyond denominationalism; it's like the music section at Borders. There's a style for whatever your taste might be. (sigh...now I'm depressed...) I’ve heard of cowboy church. I’m and LCMS pastor in SW Iowa.

At their church, you wear your Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes with your Sunday-go-to-meetin' cowboy hat (yup, there's a special hat). And you go to church in either the pickup truck or the family car. You don't bring your horse anymore and even if you would ride your horse, the horse stays OUTSIDE. Oh, and the Sunday-go-to-meetin' hat comes off upon entering the church building.
