JULY 5, 2006 — We’re beginning to see the impact in our area from a trend in religion, the emerging popularity of cowboy churches.
Cowboy church services are now held each week in Lake Waccamaw and Bladenboro. The goal is to appeal to members of the cowboy culture, people who often can’t make it to church on Sundays because of weekend horse shows and trail rides.
The dress at these services often includes boots and a cowboy hat. The cowboy church meets every Thursday night at the Boys and Girls Home Exhibition Center in Lake Waccamaw.
Do they have Foresquare dancing afterwards? With horses around do you have to watch your step during the communion service? Would these belt buckels be mandatory. I think this is a case for cowboy hat wearing apologist Jimmy Akin.

I’m not familiar with cowboy culture, but in any event shouldn’t you structure your Sundays with the Mass as the central event and everything else around it, and not just an afterthought?
There is a cowboy church in Fort Worth, Texas that meets at the stockyards, which is more of a touristjoint than a real stockyard. Its run by graduates of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and is billed as non-denominational.
