Hmm, Earthdog, I only noticed you're from Melbourne after I posted. I know some churches in Melbourne. It was my home away from home for a while. Which ones are you referring to down there?
Could you do us a favour? Check out Christian City Church Whitehorse, on the Highway behind the town hall. It's in the Whitehorse/Camberwell/Box Hill area. Look it up on the web if you need better directions.
Anyhow check it out one sunday soon, and let me know if this is the type of thing you mean. It's a Pente church, but when I was last there was pretty tame by comparison to some extreme Pente churches. It'd be interesting to see if my definition of tame and yours match up or if what I call tame, you call freaky.
I've got a number of friends who go there so I'd also be interested to know an outsiders opinion.
