I am protestant, or at least that is what I’m told. But I do listen sometimes for the hymns.

Well, there are a variety of denominations. I have an old and wonderful friend was a Baptist but changed to another denomination. HER reason was that there was no Baptist minister where she moved to.
Actually she hasn't been to "church" in decades.
I attended her granddaughter's wedding and there was a Protestant minister there. I asked her about HIS denomination and she had no clue what it was.

I asked her what the theological difference between her Baptist and current denomination was/were. She didn't know.
Do YOU know the theological difference between your own Protestant denomination and another one?

I'm not trying to be nosy but I am curious what the theological differences between between denominations are.
Thanks.

I always enjoy the hymns.

From Google
Gregoran chants are a body of chants of the Roman Catholic Church, most of which are part of two liturgical rites, the Mass and the Offices.
Origins are traditionally are ascribed to the period of Pope Gregory I 590-604.
The sacred music of the Gregorian Chant was also known as plainchant, or plainsong and named after Pope Gregory. This music consisted of a single line of melody with a flexible rhythm sung to Latin words by unaccompanied male voices.
Manuscripts date from ninth century and used a system of modes, specific patterns of whole and half steps. This single line of melody, called monophony, characterized music until about 1000 AD.

I don't often hear these chants anymore. But they were BEAUTIFUL.
