"Seven times a day I praise thee for thy righteous ordinances."-Psalms 119:164
Growing up Protestant I really didn't have much experiential knowledge of other forms of Christianity. What I'm finding interesting is how similar some of the ancient forms of Christianity are to Islam. For example, Christians have a qibla (prayer direction), usually to the East. Also, a surprising number of Christian traditions have fixed prayer times as well.
I feel like there are some surprising harmonies and agreements among traditional forms of Islam, Judaism and Christianity, even the more modern forms (e.g. Protestants, Salafis, etc.) seem more prone to polemical disagreements.
