This week
For the last few months I've been attending various churches and worship services to get a sense for which practices facilitate introvert participation and which practices alienate us. The last chapter of my book will be my reflections on my experiences. Tonight I am attending a Taize service at All Saints Episcopal in Pasadena, which I am very much looking forward to. I'm sure I'll have some reflections about it this week. I also plan on blogging some thoughts on the movie Into the Wild, which I watched this weekend.

Here's a list from me:
1. Hymns - forced singing can be an issue for me. I just don't sing that well. This is particularly apparent in Taize with its repetition and usual lack of a covering organ.
2. Worship in a circle - our church does Taize with the chairs in a circle. How can you be anonymous when 1/2 of the congregation is looking at you?
3. Holding hands during prayers (Lord's Prayer, etc).
Sounds very interesting! Did you get my email?
