wow, I'm suprised at the angst voiced in this thread over holding hands. Especially considering it is a fellow Christian's hand and it's during the praising of God.

Well, my opinion was asked for and I gave it. It is not angst, it is a peference.

I don't REFUSE to hold hands. But if I had my choice, I would prefer not to be distracted.

Now are you going to "tsk-tsk" at me because I don't like sacred dance as well?

So am I, but there are lots of folks in my parish who don't hold hands and nobody looks askance at them.

Those who don't like to hold hands,and don't like anyone else to hold hands, should CHILL.
