[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 279137, member: 1991"] Here's a suggestion - why not call the head office of the diocese where the service is to be held? Even if I were equipped to answer your question, there are cultural variations from country to country. I remember as a kid visiting St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney, my mother made me put a hankie on my head in lieu of a hat or scarf. I was there with a young Catholic friend and I remember being startled by her genuflecting (I didn't know what it was at the time). husband - not Catholic, but Anglican High Church. When I started going out with him there were aspects to his church service which I found confronting, because they seemed so alien to what I was used to. As a kid our church encouraged us to go into other places or worship, our Sunday School actually organised excursions to them. I remember a class trip to the Great Synagogue in Sydney, all in the name of ecumenism. We talked about it a lot at Sunday School next morning. These days rules are a lot more relaxed, at least in our area. But I'm sure that the churches (of any denomination) would welcome the opportunity to answer your questions, and you would then know that your information is accurate as well as specific to the area where you will be attending.
