If you are asking for historys sake, Ronin is right about the mostly Protestant, and Anglican thing. (In England.) If you are asking for now a days... don't worry so much about what church is right, and focus on getting your heart right. Your local pastor isn't going to be your judge, God is. Line up with His rules. Get a relationship with Him. Notice I said relationship, not religion?

It is best to have someone from a church do it because of it being a Holy Trinity between man and women. What God has join together let no one putth under.

Our Body is the Temple of God so what is a Church but the Temple. Now you ask what is the best church well the disciple ask Christ who would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven Matthew 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him and set him in the midst of them 18:3 And said "verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.   Who could build a house for God when the earth is his footstool. As far as the right church is the one that's out in the world doing the works of Christ . In prisons in Homeless shelters and soup kitchens on the streets sharing the word of God do you think these people are doing it because they want to be mocked spit on laughed at persecuted it's out of the Love for our Savior. God doesn't need pour money but if you meet at a place of fellowship it doe's take money to pay bill's.\n\n NO you don't have to go to church to go to heaven John 3:16 FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING  LIFE.

I used to date a guy who held church in his home.  His father was a minister without a congregation and his mother was disabled and physically uncomfortable in the traditional church setting so for this reason he held church in his house every Sunday afternoon and every other Wednesday night with his father preaching and his mother attending even though his parents had long since been divorced. It was the best "church" I have ever been to.  The service was meaningful and the singing was beautiful with every voice raised to God, there was no doubt everyone in the very crowded living room was there for God.  I continued to attend "church" at his house for awhile after we quit dating, and frequently think I should still be going there. I learned more there than I ever learned in Sunday school.  I recently took the Alpha class at a local church it was great but I still believe the best church is where you feel the closest to God no matter if it's in a house or a traditional church.

Andrew M is perfectly correct on the history.  There is also now a big difference in church services and in church organisation.\n\nAnglican services are very stylised and formal, and proceed according to scripts laid down in the "Book of Common Prayer".  However, services in Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Congregational, and United Reformed churches are all quite different from that and very similar to each other, with less formality, and with mostly extempore prayers.\n\nThe Anglican church has a pyramidal structure of authority with the Queen and the Archbishop of Canterbury at the top, and  permanent holders of office at several subsidiary levels.  The other denominations listed above have generally only two levels - ordained ministers, and superiors who are elected from among them for a fixed period and who then return to being ordinary ministers.  This probably counts as a bigger difference than the style of service.

I would say that the Christian funeral. Don't think it matters about denomination. Best funerals are the ones it is almost a celebration, know it doesn't sound right but think about it. The person's life is celebrated and there is happiness in the pain because the people know that the person has gone to heaven and is happy there. I have been to a few of these and it is alot more pleasant then others. These services have church songs that the person liked, talks from people that really cared. There is still crying and mourning but there is a sense of hope and happiness. This is far better to other funerals where it is impersonal (traditional) and excessive mourning with no celebration of the person's life.

Why do you think there are so many different types of churches.

No, there isn't a religion that is the "best".  There is  religion that is the best for you.  My mother is Muslim, I am Catholic but we don't think one religion is better than te other.

Yes, I've been to mass in a Roman Catholic church in Brighton, England.  They use a lot more incense than in the US.  I found the same thing in Munich, Germany.  I'm pretty sure you can find RC churches throughout Europe.

Heythrop College.   A friend of mine studied there and he's the best pastor/preacher/teacher I know.

A Church I would like to see\n\nI don't get excited about being a spectator and hearing only what some elitist has to say ... a paid professional ... a "money changer" so to speak. But that is what churches are these days. I would prefer that everyone brought their own message in their heart and a song on their lips, and that the worship was led by the Spirit, and not by some sheet of paper. So the type of morning worship that I would get excited about is if the clergy kept quiet unless they were either led by the Spirit to speak something and then shut-up right after. So it would be a place where all people could suggest a song, or stand up and share what God has taught them .. and how God has delivered them from evil that week.\n\nI also don't get excited about a church with million dollar building budget. To me, that is sad to see a pristine building with plush landscape in a decapitated neighborhood. What a slander of Christ's message! I would prefer that the church building be the least of the buildings in the community. Does every member and every neighbor have air conditioning? If not, then the church should install it in their house BEFORE they install it in the church. Do all the homes have a new paint job and cut grass? \n\nThis would be a church building that I could really get excited about ... the one that is the least, and the last to be upgraded. Because I know that in that building are people that put themselves last, and they shall be put first by the Lord.\n\nWhen the people are sick of the condition of the church building, or the leaders of the church's homes, then they can just make sure that everyone else around there has it better off, and then do the upgrades to the church properties last.\n\nWe can call it Last Baptist Church in __ (your town here.) Want to come?

How open are you?\n\nI mean, because Oklahoma City has extremely conservative and extremely liberal churches (both extremes). There are a lot of churches!\n\nThere is the Church of the Open Arms which is part of the United Church of Christ (the one's with the media campaign that says "God doesn't turn away people, neither do we. God is still speaking"). It's located on NW Classen. It is a gay friendly church (just so you know since the denomination allows churches to choose to be "welcoming" as they put it). There is also the Cathedral of Hope, but that's very much a gay church.\n\nSome of the churches downtown are really good and have outreaches. There is two on either side of the Memorial downtown (one right across the street...the other down the street). Not sure if they are denominational or not. But I know they are usually fairly active.\n\nThe City Church is nondenominational. It's downtown. You can't miss it, the building looks like a Cathedral....or like the State Capitol building. If you take the exit off of I-235 towards St. Anthony's Hospital you will pass it. I don't know how active it is, but I know it is has been a church in OKC for a long time.\n\nOklahoma City is rich in spirituality and no matter what religion you are looking for, there is probably some place for you to gather together with others. There are mosques, synagogues, churches, cathedrals, basilicas, mandirs, gurdwaras, and so much more. \n\nThe church section of the Fiest phone book is really good. It lists a lot of churches. The Buyer's Guide which is mailed out free every week to everyone in the metro area is also a good source for looking into churches. The Daily Oklahoman also tries to list churches. The Gayly Oklahoman lists gay friendly churches (if you are looking for something that liberal).\n\nAs I have told my Christian friends before that have moved to OKC...the best way to find a church is to visit a church. Go for about two or three visits and then switch and try another church for two or three visits. Make sure you both write down what it is you are looking for in a church. Make a list. Then rate the churches on a scale that you create (1-2-3 is usually a good scale 1 being that you closely matched what you would like in a church 2 being neutral: that you don't know if it matches or not and 3 being that it didn't match up). Make sure that you put stars next to what are considered "top priorities" then at the end of the three visits, add up the total score for the church. Make sure you give an extra point for each of the stars that get a 1, do nothing if those with the stars get a 2, and take away a point if it gets a 3...when calculating up the total score). It sounds really silly at first, but it can be very helpful and makes it easy to know how you rated the churches you visited. It works not just in Oklahoma City, but anywhere. It has always helped my Christian friends find the best church for them in the areas they live.\n\nI know about all of this because I have friends of a wide variety of religions: Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, etc. I'm a Hindu and love visiting the Hindu Temple (mandir) of OKC. Visiting all the many houses of worship with them definately lets me know what's available. There are even Orthodox and Unitarian-Universalist churches in OKC. So there is definately something for just about everyone!\n\nGood luck with your search. \n\nFor the record, most of the places I named do have websites if you wanted to visit them. Just do a search for their name (make sure to put the words Oklahoma City otherwise you might get a website for churches with similar names should they exist: Cathedral of Hope for example originates in Dallas so if you don't put Oklahoma City you get the Dallas website).
