But passing of the peace is one of my favourite parts of worship.
I ventured into a cahtolic mass one weekday, prior to an appearance at the coroner's court.
I have attended this church in the past, for a quiet place in the middle of Adelaide.
But this time happened to coincide with mass.
I studiously applied myself, as I don't come from this tradition.
Then came a time when we could greet each other.
Our eyes met, their was a kinship.
It did indeed feel peaceful.
I felt renewed, enough to go on with what the day held.
Which was far from my ideal.
My faith community in our local town also connects in this way.
We call it a community walkabout.
I find it is a great way to connect.
Especially with those who for whatever reason belt off straight after church.
Sometimes I just say 'peace' or 'how are you going'.
To be worshiping together means more than just gathering together in a building.
It is finding that peace in each other that inspires.
Peace
