Pews v. Standing


A thoughtful article on
why many Orthodox
parishes, including our
own, do not have pews
in the center of the
worship space (though
we do have plenty of
seating).


Pews vs. standing: an
Orthodox controversy

My family came
into Orthodoxy
in a parish without
pews. St. Seraphim's
Catheral in Dallas,
observes the
traditional Orthodox 
custom of parishioners
standing for the
entire two-hour
liturgy, though
there are chairs
lining the sides of
the worship space
for those who
cannot or who don't
wish to stand for
the service.
