Orans posture: yes? no?

[MaxPC]

In my circles, the orans posture is praying with hands uplifted. Do you engage this gesture during your church worship?
Yes? No?

[Josh]

No.

Mennonites generally engage in three positions. Sitting, standing and kneeling. The majority is sitting.
The lifting of hands isn’t wrong but I suspect it’s rarely practiced as a view of it being showy, I would disagree with that but I admit if I see it, I would tend to wonder why they did so.

[Josh]

In a plain context, everyone who has raised their hands has been someone who was very suspect and had serious problems.

Whereas in a Pentecostal church this is perfectly normal - the person who won’t raise their hands is shy or isn’t getting involved in the worship.

Sometimes this posture, biblically called "lifting up holy hands" (from 1 Timothy 2.8), is encouraged as part of some specific prayer time, but generally only about a half-dozen or so of us in a congregation of around 50 practice it in worship fairly regularly. I don't sense any social pressure to lift up one's hands or to refrain, which is how I think it should be.
