Sigh
I’m tired and grouchy, I got nothing done today, and I slept in and missed Mass due to a migraine, so instead of doing anything constructive, I played around on the Internet and went grocery shopping. Grocery shopping while sad isn’t a good idea….I come home with frozen pizzas and Oreos.
I will point you to this interesting “Mass in the Round” article that I dug up while looking for stories for the Diocese of Albany news blog. I’m not really sure how I feel about that arrangement–I’d have to see it in action. There appears to be a lack of kneelers, which makes me uncomfortable.
I grew up attending a church where the pews surrounded the altar in a sort of semicircle, which is a nice arrangement except that it makes weddings and funerals a little bit awkward since there’s no true “aisle” to walk down, and there’s barely enough room between the baptismal font and the altar steps to put a coffin. Being able to see what’s going on on the altar was never a concern for me, since we always sat in the back and I’m under five feet tall.
Come to think of it, now that I’m an adult, there’s no one to scold me for standing on the kneelers, so maybe I could try it….
