Eye Contact
February 26th, 2006
I have been wondering recently about eye contact in church services; particularly during the Peace and when receiving Communion. I struggle with eye contact too, so maybe I am the wrong person to be writing about the lack of eye contact during these aspects of our community life. Is this just reflective of the level of discourtesy that we are prepared to accept in public life? Or is it a give away to something much deeper, and our understanding of ourselves and the ontology of the community. It is eye contact during the Peace in particular that I focus on in this piece. But eye contact during services would be a v.interesting enthological study; anyone up for it! . Peace be with you.
