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

I doubt it was done that "willingly"

If it was a fraternity, they would have been baned for ever and the individual brothers would have expelled/suspended. I don't think this group should get any special treatment.

Lots of people willingly wash the feet of others. It's a very common practice in a lot of Primitive Baptist congregations. It shows humility. It doesn't seem odd to me at all that people in a group would do that at a worship event. Granted, it would seem odd if I did it, but I know that there are lots of people who think nothing of it.

Ok. So, the main organization's website was quite interesting. They have an event on the "Biblical Perspective of Greekdom."

Guess who is a speaker?

HACHETT!!!

I still think this whole thing was a worship event that was misunderstood.

I love how they list their letters after their names despite later being described as "FORMER MEMBERS"
