ORTHODOX WORSHIP MINUS THE PEWS

Orthodox Controversy??? Pews vs. Standing???

My grandfather, along with four other Serbian immigrants, founded Holy Ascension Orthodox Church in 1912. I was born in 1955, and baptized in this church in 1956. I grew up attending with my mother and two sisters, sitting in the pews squashed into the small worship space. Folding chairs would line the aisle for the crowds to have a place to sit since we spent at least half the time sitting. This was my experience growing up until I quit attending at 17 years old (due to a born again experience, and falling in love with the Bible). Because the Divine Services were in a language I didn't understand I was not catechized. I left along with all the others my age. How sad to look back after decades of spiritual journey, struggling for truth in the desert of American Christianity, to discover that the pearl of great price was hidden from me by the very one's responsible to teach me the faith, the Church hierarchs. Wow!!! How did I end up sharing all that??? I just simply wanted to say that when my grandfather founded the church it didn't have pews. Pews came along in 1955. Pews are Protestant. Providing some seating for Orthodox elderly is just common sense. But pews are contrary to Orthodox worship. Check out this article and the links it provides. THEN LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW. THANKS.
