Holding Hands for the Our Father

Question from WM on 10/5/2007:

I am an Epsicopalian. Our church would never consider holding hands during the Liturgy. I have attended other Protestant churches and I have never seen hand holding. The only place I have ever seen it is in our local Catholic Church. In fact a lot of Protestant churches do not even recite the Our Father. Second comment is about Prayer Shawls Ministry. It is not New Age. Each indivual church has their own rules so I suppose it could be. Wmake shawls and pray while we knit then give therm to someone who is ill.
