People would partner with another church member and they would in turn wash each other's feet. Before or after that would be the Lord's Supper ceremony. My mother said people were not humble enough to do that anymore. I just wondered if maybe the churches got too big to practice this anymore. The event in our church was a dignified event with women washing women's feet and men washing men's feet. The only wild thing that I ever recalled was one of the deacons got happy and threw the pan of water out of a window he thought was open but it wasn't. We were talking about that for weeks.

It started out as a religious thing but it has turned into something that's the total opposite. I think it could be a real money maker though. I met a guy in Birmingham who goes ever year as a vendor and sells out of food.  It takes a certain person to attend the footwash after dark, I went in 2000 during the day and it was pretty nice, because there is stuff you could buy at the footwash you couldn't get anywhere. But at night I've heard all kinds of stories(sin city) gambling, stripper tents, drugs etc.....The police let it happen no interference.

It's a wide-open sex and drug market where black marketers from atlanta, new york, etc... Come to sell their designer knock-offs. Law enforcement allows it, but they do have a habit of waiting for drivers once the get back onto the main roads.
Someone always ends up getting shot at the stripper tent.
My suggestion is go but be out before it gets dark and don't be drinking too much, tickets and fines is how they fund city government there.

You'll probably have to contact the organizers....just google "footwash alabama" you should find the info you seek there.
