Where did the midget races come from? Acolytes, torch bearers, and other assorted young ecclesiastical assistants?
You got it!
At the ACA pro-cathedral here in Portland, the services are *very* high church. I think the acolytes (whether
kids or adults, needed a drill instructor and a choreographer to keep from tripping over each other!
Compared to that, my Orthodox parish is just as liturgical but much more relaxed. It's hard to describe.
