I don't know. I was brought up in the Church of England (as we called it then) and we didn't use our bodies much. And then they brought in the new liturgy and after the blessing you made peace by shaking the hand of the person near you. Which I did at Midnight Mass one Christmas but the girl I extended my hand to had been dragged along by her mother (as had I perhaps) and just looked at my hand with contempt, which I found easy to share.
I've just seen a Mavis Staples concert that clearly came out of some gospel tradition which I know nothing about and I was so impressed. She was so damn generous.
You've got this thing about being trapped by the wrong decision. And yet I wonder (perhaps wrongly) if somehow you need to be trapped? This is starting to sound like 'You're broke because you want to be'.
