I also don't particularly like the idea of a forced "shake the hand of the person in front of you" part of the worship service. This has not added to the worshipfulness of any Baptist or Presbyterian service I have ever attended, in my opinion.

Oddly, when I attended a Lutheran church (ten to fifteen or so years ago, now), we had a "pass the peace" portion of the liturgy--and for some reason that never struck me as anything *but* reverent. My thinking on this is that the two types of greeting had different perspectives and thus resulted in different perceptions.

In the church I now attend we do have music in Communion, but not specifically at the end of a prayer, or during the prayers.
