How do Christians greet one another? With a handshake most likely or a holy kiss if you are close to the person. What does a handshake convey? A lot apparently. During greet one another time, I shook a total of seven hands. Two of them were unsatisfactory and five just average. The average handshake will be when the other party will at least trained his or her eyes on me until the process of hand shaking is finished. Good morning is exchanged and no other exchange of information about one another. The unsatisfactory handshake usually is a distracted one, void of eye contact and done very reluctantly. One lady offered her hand but she was in such a hurry to greet the next person that she looked away as her hand touched mine. Another lady spotted a friend as she offered her hand to me that as the hand touched mine her eyes and mouth actually was communicating to someone across the pew.
How do you greet others in church? In the opening song, we sang ,"This is your house... where the lost and the lonely bring their burden and their care." Can the church really take care of the lost and the lonely who bring their burden and care? Not if each individual is so engrossed in their own little cliques that others are blatantly ignored or given the cold shoulder.
