raising the right hand to enter or leave service while it is in session is an african american tradition. it symbolizes respect ,permission an honoring the creator
in african american churches in the 20’s thru 60’s raising the right hand was a tradition all over america. this church still upheld the tradition into the 80’s. you still see it in some african american churches today. whenever you had to enter or leave during service you had to raise your right hand while walking. my mother and grandmother got all over me for not doing it one sunday when i had to go to the bathroom during service. the other church members told them and boy did i here from them
I have been playing the Organ for all my life and I can this is what I like. I love traditional Gospel/Spiritual Music .. this brings back a lot of memories .. I’m not a fan of modern contemporary Gospel Music. I’m old school … this type of music will move you !!!!
That’s a old school thing. That means an elevated heart and hand to Christ. It’s like at the end of service when you raise your hand for the benediction. The left hand behind you is what the ushers tend to do called service position.
i don’t care what you say you can’t beat real church music or shall i say sunday morning music that the choir can march in on with there heads lifted high and ready to give God there best let the church say AMEN.
this was ST. JAMES BAPTIST CHURCH in DETROIT, when the church was located on MT. Elliott @ Pulford, Andre Woods moved REVIVAL TABERNACLE into this building after St. Jamnes move to Van

This takes me back to the “good old days” with Bishop William Morris “Pope” O’Neal! Fantastic.

Ive been buked,

and Ive been talked,
about as sure as youre born.
what is the choir saying from 6:04 to 6:20
the tallest tree,
in paradise,
the christian call,
it the tree of life.
what is the choir saying from 5:20 to 5:35? because i never knew.
I can remember when I was living in Detroit in 76-79 .Burnet Baptist could sing like this.
i don’t care what you say you can’t beat real church music or shall i say sunday morning music that the choir can march in on with there heads lifted high and ready to give God there best let the church say AMEN.
I remember when choirs used to spend half of the choir rehersal practicing “The March”.
