(Not sure if this is the right forum)
I was trying to remember a word the other day and it’s still driving me nuts… it seems like there’s a specific adjective for religions where they do a lot of loud praising and singing and emoting in their services. Something like “dynamic,” but that’s not it.
I may just be fooling myself and there is no such word, but I think I’ve heard my husband use it. I asked him and he doesn’t know what I’m talking about. Help!
are you thinking of “Charismatic”?
Holy rolling?
Spiritual fervor?
Zealot?
Oh, oh! I think it was charismatic. Thanks!
:smack:
And sometimes they refer to themselves as full-faith Christians.
I guess the rest of us are half or semi-faith, eh?
Or perhaps fundamentalist?
Nope – “fundamentalist” is a theological category, not a behavioral (worship) category.
Hmmmmm, and what would that make Anglicans? Hemi-demi-semi-faith?

Hemi-demi-semi-quavers please 
Or hemi-semi-demi-Quakers?
Hey – I’m a Quaker!
Quaker Oats?
Southern Baptist?
There was a discussion about religions in “Stranger in a Strange land” that gave labels to two extremes: Dionysian (loud, outgoing, extroverted) and Apollonian (quiet, introverted). If by “something like dynamic” you meant the word sound in addition to meaning, Dionysian sounds like a good fit.
