Can you elaborate more on this? Did you see the service? Was it the people or the officiating priest who was in error? Not that I know how to pray. I just have never heard of an Orthodox service not done "correctly'. Especially if they had visiting monks present. No, this wasn't an Orthodox service. It was some sort of Protestant gathering. I don't know whether it was the normal Sunday service or a one-off. We wanted to look inside the church but couldn't whilst the service was going on. I loitered at the doorway a couple of times. There was no priest or even minister. The service was being led by a woman who, characteristically I imagine for such gatherings, talked to the people in a sing-song voice like a kindergarten teacher. 'Now everyone - we're all going to sing hymn number 182'. 'Oh no we're not', I growled to myself, and walked away. As the people left we went inside. 'Holy Communion' had been art-crafty wooden bowls full of chunks of wholemeal bread: 'there's plenty left - help yourself'.
