[In the middle of the service at Trinity Reformed Church, the church I am attending here, everyone gets up in the middle of the service to "Pass Peace."  When I've visited other churches that have done this, I've always found it very awkward.  People would stand up, half-heartedly shake the hands of the people standing directly around them, and quickly sit back down.  At Trinity there is no stiffness, no formality.  Everyone makes their way through the big room (which is actually some sort of conference room at a hotel),  grasping hands, giving hugs, greeting enthusiastically, and sometimes even kissing one another.  It's what I imagine the early church was like: full of unconditional love and brimming with effervescent life.]
