This was horrible, I'm not even gonna say the church because it doesn't matter. Pews do not belong in church (except in the back for the disabled/elderly/pregnant). How am I supposed to bow, prostrate or kneel when I'm surrounded by pews?? Sitting down lowers your energy levels, standing up awakens you. We are in the presence of God, we should either stand or bow, not sit down as if we're watching a movie.
Also I can't understand how people walk in church with their dirty shoes or sandals, this feels so unnatural to me. '"Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground."'
churches aren't holy ground so it makes no sense to not wear shoes, I'm not sure why you want to bow or kneel or prostrate in church, and the bible says long hair is a covering, but I agree nobody should wear dirty shoes or flip flops to church.

Topkek are you oriental catholic/orthodox per chance? Only they take off their shoes in liturgy. if not youd proabably be more comfortable in their rites dont expect uniformity though.
God was speaking to moses through the burning bush, is God speaking at an assembly of believers?

It's a formal assembly for the direct purpose of worship, it's a church. It's not coincidental assembly, like christians gathering to play video games and have a BBQ.
His presence makes it holy. "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
