Quite. Not only is there no one Central Protestant Headquarters, but there
are a number of seperate churches that fall under the Protestant umbrella;
they're distinct denominations with different views on theology, emphasis
in different areas, and widely varying styles. While an Episcopal church
and a Charismatic Baptist church both count as Protestant (ie- Christian
but not Roman Catholic), it would be very difficult to confuse the way
their service goes.
Hope this is helpful :)
