Hazing at Savannah: "washed the feet of others during a worship service."

[UGAalum94]

I didn't realize it was that widespread in other denominations. Cool.

I was just thinking that in a more Catholic part of the country, no one would think hazing, even for a minute. (and really Savannah has a pretty decent Catholic population anyway, now that I think about it.)

But since you're right, maybe it's only totally secular institutions that could possible make this mistake.

There's got to me more to this story. Anybody know what it is?

Who's Dale?

I'm Presbyterian and I have never seen that being done.

I am too, and I have seen it done, though it doesn't surprise me at all that another Presbyterian (or a Lutheran, AlphaFrog) may not have.

That's why I said "while it is certainly not universal, footwashing on Holy Thursday/Maunday Thursday can be found among Episcopalians, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists and others."

For those looking for more info and a biblical basis for the washing of feet :Wiki
