I would advise well meaning folk to not go after someone in the alter without first getting permission from the person who brought them to church.
We've got our neighbours coming right now and she went to the alter for the first time and although we tried to protect her some well meaning folk "jumped" her... and scared her near to death.
If the person in the alter didn't come alone, the person who brought them would surely know their background best... (ie, our neighbour has a Catholic background and was no where near ready for her head to be shook half off and her arms and back to be massaged by total strangers)
She hasn't gone back to the alter yet.
We've explained why people did that, but it hasn't made it any easier for her to take the second try...
I think sincere churches in the business of saving souls should have a little course/class on how to pray with people... or how NOT to.
