Would that include the slow meaningful spiritual two-hands-together arm movement which, last time there was a liturgical dance thread on SoF, was memorably defined as 'passing the hamster'?

Are you reading a different Bible or something? I doubt David got much of a chance to see the king's daughter in the altogether before the wedding. In spite of the foreskin brideprice. [ 01. May 2010, 03:35: Message edited by: Lamb Chopped ]

I believe the Rodent Snatcher might be thinking of Bathsheba (aka Mrs Uriah). She used to take her bath on the roof, and the next door neighbour with the high-rise palace got a good look at her. I think he uttered that well-known Hebrew expression "Phwoooor!"
Here is one of David's photos of the occasion:

Not sure where the brideprice fits in though.

Blimey!
I used to go to a church over 10 years ago now which used to go in for flagwaving and much else of that ilk besides, but we didn't concoct any hyper-spiritualised justification for it.
Flagwaving was just another fad and ranked alongside raising hands and so forth simply as a way of expressing joy, adoration etc. It was never any big deal and it was never forced upon people ... although it could be a fairly conformist and even abusive setting at times.
So, I escaped all the 'prophetic drumming' and all that nonsense.
Mind you, if you do something long enough it becomes part of the tradition. I remember an Orthodox priest showing me the napkin they use behind the iconostasis when they're consecrating the elements for the Eucharist. It had a fancy Greek name, of course. He showed us how it was folded in particular ways at particular points in the service to commemorate Christ been laid in the tomb, Christ being raised to life etc and how, at the descent of the Holy Spirit, the priest wiggles the napkin back and forth in a wafting motion.
As he put the napkin away he said, 'Of course, in the middle east it was first used to keep off the flies ...'
Similarly, an RC priest told me that incense was first used in religious services pre-Judaism and way back in antiquity partly because people were pretty smelly in those days as they didn't have showers. So when they congregated in large numbers the smell could be quite intense. Imagine us starting a religion which featured cans of deodorant today and it ending up as some kind of air-freshener squirting cult and no ozone layer in 2,000 years time ...
As for the Holy Spirit Hokey Pokey (sic) - as Numpty observes - what a load of old hokey. I've seen some stuff in my time but that ... ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)

I was going to look it up but was in a hurry. The dog ate my homework. A very good friend who should have known better corrected me in the wrong direction. My former Protestant church used a wonky translation that had garbled David's wives. I read L'Engle's book and it confused me.

I once seriously used that defence. My sadistic teacher asked if he could nevertheless review what was left after the dog had chewed it to see what information he could glean.
Clearly, this left me in the impossible position of having to do the homework, then persuade the neighbour's dog to chew it (I didn't have one).
Even after wrapping a sausage in it, the dog refused to do more than lick it.
I therefore had to copy it out again, and this time chew it and shred it myself.
When I brought it in, it was perfectly obvious a no dog had been involved at any stage and so I was given a detention, during which I had to complete my homework a 3rd time, without the benefit of the previous copy to guide me.
I suspect he dined out on that in the staff room for some time.
But I digress...

I put up a cartoon on the choir noticeboard showing Church of England members dancing naked round a totem pole ('The CofE has simply gone too far'). By Evensong it had been removed.
But I saw the car park notice saying 'Drive carefully, you might hit an Anglican' was still there.
I sense a plot. ![[Paranoid]](graemlins/paranoid.gif)

The main excuse now for not doing homework is to say that the printer broke or ran out of ink.
As I, and most teachers at my school, have a policy of accepting homework by email or on a memory stick/disk, and that there are lots of printers in school, it doesn't wash.
As for flag waving, only done by kids on the odd chorus every now and again.

I have been so tickled by this discussion that I did a bit of research on the internet (beats working!)
Go to this website:
Stout matron waving flags
scroll down and you will see flag waving in all its glory. There's an explanation of all the moves and everything!
Elsewhere on this website is a place where you can buy 'Flag Bags'. They are meant as devices to facilitate the safe storage of one's flags, but put me in mind of my late dad, the wearer of volumious underpants known in the family as 'Flag Bags'. In fact, we once made a flag pole and displayed his undies from it in the garden.
If only we'd had the internet in those days we could have used his pants as an aid to worship!

It reminds me of baton twirling. Yeah, to do it well takes a certain amount of skill and practice, especially if done in unison, but at the end of the day, it's simply a pretty little addition to the real show (be it marching band music or church service) without any actual meaning.
My two cents.

You can get them through Algy, that's where we bought most of our competition flags from, anyway, might as well get the bag at the same time and save shipping.
I think I still have a flag bag in the back of my closet, it has my practice silk, my saber, and two of my rifles, one practice and one performance.
Oh, yes, for those who don't know, competitive flag waving (also known as Colorguard or Winterguard) arose out of practice for battle. All the pretty waving moves the folks are doing with the marching band? Deadly. My high school Colorguard had a higher injury per capita rate than the football team.
And no, my five concussions in high school wasn't why, nor was it considered an abnormal number of injuries for Colorguard.
So, basically, whenever I see these amateurs waving flags about in church, I think, "Wimps."

Reminded me of something I saw on QI recently, the stats being contained in this rather staid report. If the flag wavers in church get on your nerves too much, you could encourage them to be more inventive in their joyous displays - maybe open a book on the order in which they demise, just to make it interesting, you know......

I don't truck with the kind of exuberance in church that involves flag waving and other artsy-fartsy folderol. I'm Episcopalian.

If you find it rather pretty then that's good - my daughter upbraided me for being such and old cynic!
But as for 'prophetic drumming', honestly, that's the bonkers-est thing I've ever heard of!
Prophetic drumming
What I want to know is, if this guy can play his drums prophetically (and apparently on a good day someone interprets!), then how come the Lord doesn't inspire me to play my bagpipes prophetically?

Well, I had to go and look it up, and according to wiki they're a pacifist Christian sect that originated in 17th or 18th C Russia, and many of them emigrated to British Columbia. Apparently they have a tendency to hold mass protests in the nude. (That's mass as in big groups, not as in liturgy -- although they were anti-liturgy, so who knows.) This nudity proclivity was immortalized in verse, as in this number by folk artist Malvina Reynolds in the 60s: quote: If public policy gets on your nerves And no one pays attention to you Throw away your dresses and your lingerie too, And do as the Doukhobors do.
It also figures in a lyric by The Band: "He said he was a Doukhobor/But they never heard of that in Baltimore." I have *got* to dig through my pile of 60s vinyl and see if I have these.

It was narrated by George Woodcock.
So...apparently there are some attractive ones after all.

Except, Belle, when it, you know, DOES mean chastity and virginity. Like in iconography.
Although in China white means death. After watching that little stunt act that in no way went with the music, I died a little inside.
