I think PRIDE is the reason churches no longer have foot washing.

I don't think it's pride, I just think that the act of washing someone's feet in Jesus' day was an act they understood to be total servanthood.
We don't understand that today, because it's not a part of our culture.
I think we need to do something in our generation that we completely understand to be total servanthood, and to each person, that may be different.
I agree that pride is the downfall of many, but I don't believe that the act of washing someone's feet in 2008 necessarily helps you overcome your pride.
Maybe surrendering a position of authority to another person? Maybe making dinner for someone less fortunate? Maybe just have a good old fashioned repenting service where you go to someone that you trust and confess your faults one to another and ask them to pray for you?
Just ideas.....
