No candles, just lamps

Don't the Orthodox use votive candles?

Central HVAC optional

Not getting a little lax, are you?

Women and children on the left ... Men on the right

Do you still do that?

Women wear dresses, ankle length and heads covered

You will get no argument from me.

Beeswax candles, yes. Never parafin.

Yes, and it makes sense. Less opportunity for distraction from prayer.

Same reason, so as not to cause men and even the angels to be distracted from prayer.
