Several years ago, I attended an Orthodox church of mostly American extraction for a while. I even joined the church and participated there for over three years. At first, it was quite an Americanized service, with beautiful songs, songs of the Sermon on the Mount, we had chairs (I have health concerns that do not allow me to stand for an hour and a half or longer.) I liked the incense, did have some introspection about the wooden pictures (icons), but was able to deal with that aspect as I only genuflected to pictures of Christ, and otherwise respectfully gestured to the ones of the Virgin Mary and saints.
However, gradually, after every visit of the Greek bishop, the service became more and more Greek, until I no longer felt all that comfortable with it. I am just a plain old Southern country girl; I am not Greek. When standing most of the time became the norm, I could no longer deal with it physically. (I know, they said there were chairs available, but not many, and those were all taken for the most part.) I enjoyed the incense and the aspects of the liturgy, but the ethnic part of it just took over. Then I had a personal trauma in my own life and am now just visiting around to the little redneck churches in my area (not Orthodox). There was also the aspect of most of the congregation of the Orthdox church I attended being newcomers from up North, so I fit into that like a bull at a cow meeting. The priest was very friendly, but his wife wouldn't speak to you if she met you in the hall alone, and for the most part people weren't all that friendly. I'm still thrashing about with many "religious" disappointments.
