We had a minister use one of these once in a service. That was one of
the most memorable services I've ever attended. It was Palm Sunday, and
the minister read us the relevant passages from two of the gospels, then
he had us act out the events. Part of the result was some of us tossing
chairs around (re-enacting the cleaning out of the temple). In another
memorable part, after the end, the minister walked around the room with
the wireless mike and asked people for their reactions, and why they did
what they did. One youth answered that he just got caught up in the
moment.
For those who have been paying attention and are wondering why Unitarian
Universalists would be doing Palm Sunday stuff, I should remind you that
our faith derrives from Christianity (and some UUs, including that
particular minister, describe themselves as Christian).
