Altar workers Guidelines (Part 1)

  • Stand face to face as much as possible. Don't talk to the back of their head.
  • Only one person talks to them. If someone else is talking to them, keep your peace. Don't confuse
  • Do not shake their chin
  • Do not attempt to push them to the floor
  • Do not slam your hand on their head
  • If you lay your hand on their head, your fingertips are fine
  • When praying with the opposite sex, maintain some distance and touch them only on the forehead or back of the wrist
  • Avoid spitting, jumping up and down yelling in their face.
I've seen them grab the seekers arm and jump up and down like they were priming a well. I once saw a guy shake a man by his throat Keep your eyes open (You may need to duck) We used to joke around about Altar Jujitsu.
