Your experience seems to verify that. Is England considered "European" by the British?<br /><br />No matter how relaxed the culture, any noise or motions that detract from a featured presentation are an unwelcome annoyance. Even if it's not considered rude, it's still inconsiderate to those who want to focus on the program. Agreed.<br /><br />I've seen a shift from dressing up to more casual dress and jeans at church. At first, I felt it was a bit disrespectful, as you do about the theater attenders. You should dress your best to show honor. But, I've changed my view. Some people dress up just to "put on a show" of worship, but it isn't really a part of them. If people come to worship just as themselves, then perhaps their dress symbolizes that honoring God is an integral part of their lives (like their jeans). Of course, what's in the heart is not known to others. From what I've read of your experiences, it sounds as if theater-going is an integral part of Londoners' lives. No need to "put on a show" of going to see one because theater is such a part of who they are. What do you think? Could this be a good sign, or am I being idealistic?Mrs. Fluryhttp://embarqmail.comnoreply@blogger.com
