"Is there some taboo against holding hands that I am not aware of?"

Not that I know of. Then again is there some command to hold hands that I am not aware of?

Exactly my point!

Speaking as a Protestant, I feel that some services and apparently some Masses are making such a determined effort to be touchy-feely and informal that the majesty and power of worship are lost. It is disheartening to sit through a service that has the inspirational aura of a Chamber of Commerce meeting.

And I also want to point out that informality trickles into everything...including a couple who carried COFFEE into the sanctuary for worship! My husband asked the pastor to remind people that this was inappropriate (which he was loathe to do since it sounded unfriendly) and said if it wasn't stopped they would soon be carrying doughnuts in as well.

Well, I am done grumbling for the evening. LOL!
