thecalmone says 2 June 2013 at 4:10 pm The last time I went to church (Antiochean Orthodox), the service was mostly in Arabic and I ended up being part of a select group from the front pews who were called to come forward and, one by one, kiss the visiting bishop???s massive silver crucifix he had hanging around his neck ??? an unsettling experience for an atheist and fallen Methodist like me.
