Sorry Rose, but I disagree with you on this. I think that it is a wonderful idea. Here is a parish giving recognition to all who offer some service. they are showing that there are many ways to serve the parish, each way valuable of itself. Everyone a servant to the same Master and everyone equal. Everyone committing themselves to at least one more year of service.
Then their service is recognised by the whole parish by publicly offering it to God at the altar, praying for those who have served and praying for their work and asking God's Blessing on them and the work. Then the "stalls at the fair" will give all the parishioners an opportunity to offer their services.
I think that it is a great idea and should kill of all thoughts of elitism or "green cardigan brigade"
