Why Do We Shake Hands in Worship and “Share the Peace”?
“The Peace is an historic Christian greeting, an act which bears witness to the presence of Christ in one another and in community. It is an opportunity to bless another in Christ’s name, to pray that we may know deeply the peace of Christ. In the context of brokenness and division, the Peace becomes a call to reconciliation and Christian community.” -From “Celebrate God’s Presence”, a Book of Services, The United Church of Canada, page 48.
