I love the folks there but did feel a bit culturly out of place.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but foaming at the mouth is not a racially specific behavior. I can't tell you how many times I've been in a service with one of those preachers who gets the white spit on the corners of his mouth--and no matter how hard I try, I CAN'T LOOK AWAY!!!!! 
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has no one ever informed these men that they can carry a handkerchief to wipe away the spit?????
