We were unable to get to our regular church today, so we went to one nearby instead. The less said of what followed, the better. But there was one thing I felt was particularly bad, and I believe it is totally prohibited: There was no crucifix anywhere in the church. None, not even in the stations of the cross. The procession came in following a cross (made of two intersecting rainbows) with no corpus. That was the main thing I noticed.
Puff wants to add that the priest had all the children standing behind the altar while he consecrated the hosts. She was perturbed by that.
There was a host of oddities about the church. I won't go into full detail. But here's the oddest thing of all: it was packed, standing room only. The orthodox churches I know around here are mostly empty, yet this place was absolutely full.
