In the movie Cold Mountain, what kind of church was it that Ada Munroe
attended? AND What was the history of that religion/faith? i.e. if it
was a Baptist Church, where did that church/faith have it's origins
(i.e. European  Lutheran, Protestant, etc)? AND What kind of church or
religious practice would the black slaves of Cold Mountain 1864
attended or participated in? AND
What kind of religious music did the blacks slaves of Cold Mountain
1864 sing? AND Where can I get access to recordings and printed scores
of this music?

Ada Monroe's father is a Protestant Christian minister, but I don't
recall any denomination ever being mentioned in either the movie or
the book. Small-town churches, then and now, are often
non-denominational.

Regarding the songs of black slaves, you may find this site useful:

I expect that no specific denomination was mentioned in the movie to
avoid discussion or complaints.

Perhaps these sites can help a bit:
