[Miss Marple]

No problem shaking hands. Please read the thread...the poster doesn't like to hold hands when praying, and it is something new in the Mass.

Why, may I ask, are a few people deciding that if you don't like to hold hands you are full of "angst" or a faulty Christian?

One could ask why are you so convinced that the non-hand holders are wrong?

I personally hate the "Peace be with you" handshake. I find it annoying.

Yes, I read the thread. This was the post I had in mind. I wasn't referring to anyone in particular, and it isn't my place to be judgmental. Each is free to worship in his own way. I simply find it sad that taking a stranger's hand, particularly in Christian fellowship, seems to some 'distasteful', or whatever word you want to use.

WWJD?
