Parish - Orleans, ON Kids choir remains in nave while kids are sent away. The actions here are incongruent.
Some kids stay, some kids leave.
The reuniting of kids within the assembly is lost by time and by inaction. The success of the entrance procession is eradicated and a focused assembly disappears. The rush of latecomers often take seats that children have abandonded with their parnets as they head off to Kid Lit, sometime unknowingly, sometimes by moving coats laid there to protect the seat. This generates a sense of unease at the prospect of leaving one's seat. Sign language while fine per se is impertinent to liturgy save for those tim,es when members of the assembly are deaf.
