After reading a post on another thread (I think it was called Hug or not to hug) I find myself agreeing with a poster who said she'd stopped going to church because of the silly embarrassing custom of shaking hands and wishing almost strangers "peace be with you".
It has put me off attending communion ever since it was introduced all those years ago.
I have written to our church wardens asking if we could delete it from one service a month so those who find it awkward and off-putting could feel at ease. I only got an acknowledgement.
I wish we could have a referendum
