As I recollect, at St Beuno's Church, Nefyn, North Wales, they still have a set of dog tongs used by the churchwardens to separate argumentative dogs brought into services by their sheep-farmer owners.

Yes, I was going to mention that, although it's actually at Clynnog Fawr a mile or two up the road. I certainly remember seeing them in around 1970!

Should THAT activity be boring? Whether or not something outside those confines counts as "worship," while interesting, is a separate question and not really relevant.
It's the OP that initially compared what happens inside church with what happens outside, and which raises the question of what we mean by 'worship'. I'm simply pursuing that thought.
Now you've raised the tangential question as to whether our we should envision our church worship as somewhat akin to 'temple' or 'synagogue' worship. I'm not entirely convinced that we should, but Christians from different traditions are likely to disagree about that.

I'm not sure what you mean here by "akin to." Do you mean to say I was suggesting our worship be somehow "like" synagogue worship, in form or appearance? If so then it wasn't my intention to do so.
Or do you mean I was suggesting that synagogue worship plays an analogous role in a Jew's life that church worship plays in a Christian's? I could cop to that. I think this is the case and this was what I was driving at.
That wasn't my intention. Just to make the analogue between what a Jew does inside versus outside the synagogue (in particular one specific Jew) and what Christians do inside or outside the synagogue. At the time I wrote that, modeling our
