I would think that a more humbling experience for someone who really enjoys personal space would be to invite some unlovely people into your home and cook them a meal and serve it on a regualr basis, or open your home to someone who has none, or go hold a dying drug addicted baby who has no one to love it while it passes.
This is one of my (admittedly many) gripes with organized religion... we have turned what was everyday life in Bible times, like washing the dust off of a travelers feet (after they had trod miles in the desert in sandals) and annointing their cracked bruised feet with oil for healing... Into a ritual done in a controlled enviornment, namely the 'church' and then we see ourselves as 'holy' for participating. And worse then that we see those who don't participate in a negative way. I feel the same way about communion in the way it is served as a sacrament... Better to get together with friends who are believers and remember the goodness of the Lord and His sacrifice and break a fresh loaf of hot crusty bread and have a glass of wine in His name and to His Honor.
Deep and sincere apologies for getting your name wrong. It is one of my biggest frustrations that I am not good with names. Quite embarrasing.

I couldn't agree more!!
I had a couple from church help me when my battery died in my car - - they took me to get the new battery, the husband installed it and I took them to dinner for helping me.
It meant so much to me that they gave up their Friday night to help me. It was humbling for me to allow someone to help me.
