Hello,

I'd like to request your opinion on an obstacle that i have about visiting an Orthodox Christian Church. You see I have health concerns in regards to catching the H1N1 virus by going to Church. I fear that being in a closed room with many people, I will breath air that may have airborne H1N1 virus, or that I will be forced to shake hands, kiss perhaps, or though Icons that everyone else has kissed or touched.

I would love to wear a carbon air mask, but I am afraid i will insult others or may even frighten them.. same with wearing gloves.

I never been to an Orthodox Christian Church, So i do not know how casual or accommodating the Church is.

Do any of you have any suggestions for me?
thanks for your thoughts.
