Alexandr:

The picture of the little boy sleeping (?) is priceless. They tell me that my new grandson likes something fuzzy against his head when he sleeps.

Also, was that spray can an import of something? Perhaps incense-flavored air freshener?

I wish I could copy and past the pew removal picture and send them to the BC Churches I've been visiting here in Michigan. I've never seen such pew loving Churches in my life. Or as a close friend says "Butt worshiping" Churches.

Maybe they want to go "Old World" worshiping style like the Russian Orthodox do in this country?

Worship while standing with a few pews for those who cannot is the Eastern way. How on earth do we expect our children to learn to worship when they are chained to pews? How does one offer full prostrations in a temple of wall to wall pews? How can any of us move about and worship as we should when we are blocked by pews? I know, we blame the Latins for these pews but they didn't force us to do build all those pews. They certainly don't force us to do it now.

Love the removal of the pews ...

during the Gospel and Readings and in fact all of the liturgy I remain standing while I still can.

I hope it helps me be a better Christian ... in the mean time I will stand!
