What's with the "presider" business in the first place? Why is the presider's chair in the central place of honor instead of the tabernacle? Why all the excitement at handshake-time? Why has the sacrificial altar been traded-in for a table? Why has a prayer-before-mealtime been substituted for the Offertory which had offered a "spotless Victim" to the Father? Inquiring minds want to know.
