I am a member of the United House of Prayer for All People. I am 32 years old and all of my life as a member of the faith I have never heard anyone talk about the House of Prayer in this way. Whoever this Mystery Man was, he should have made himself known – there are so many people there, that no one would have known who he was. If you really want to know what the House of Prayer is like, come on a Tuesday or Sunday morning, when the house is not that packed and you can get the full scope of things.
If you really want to know about the House of Prayer, talk to someone that is a member and they will answer any question that you may have. Just to give you a brief overview, we do believe in God and Jesus, we do have the Holy Ghost. If you are a Bible based believer, than you know what I am talking about.
So, Mr Mystery Man, my name is Sis. Sean Brister, and if you really want to know, come see us again and look for me.
Thanks
Sis. Sean Brister

I too am a member of the United House of Prayer. I also disagree with the report and am highly upset about it. I may be younger than the other person that commented on this report, but I know enough about the House of Prayer to assure you that there must have been a misunderstanding.
I believe that it is unfair to judge a place that you are completely unfamiliar with. Did you ever think to visit the House of Prayer again? Well, if not, I highly recommend you do so because I for one do not believe that you can make judgments on a place that you know nothing about. Never judge a book by its cover.
If you are unaware of what that means, it means that you shouldn't judge anything or anyone if you do not know them. I forgive you for making this mistake. I too recommend you visit another time when the bishop is not in town.

I am from the United House of Prayer for All People and I was very offended by the report given by the Mystery Worshipper. Is he familiar with black churches? Surely not, otherwise he would not have found our practices unusual. His language seemed more like he was poking fun at a church based on devil worship instead of a wonderful place where the Spirit of the Lord is celebrated with music, singing and praise.
Maybe he should view our Bishop the same way the Catholics view the Pope. Do they donate money to him? Yes! Do they praise his name and fall on their knees in his presence? Yes! Do they believe the Holy Spirit enters the building with the Pope? Yes! Now, does the Mystery Worshipper also disagree with Catholicism? There are so many parallels that I am angered that you spent an entire service looking for the differences. Let's call our service "Catholicism with soul".
Please feel free to return and ask questions during a regular service when the Bishop is not here. It often takes a few trips to understand what's going on. Also, the crowd will be much smaller and the members will actually notice you there. When our Bishop is in town, congregations from all over the US come by the bus load and sometimes it's hard to distinguish a visitor from a member from out of town. Please return at a better time where things are calmer and easier to understand.
