one of the big things i appreciated about my old Orthodox church was how much it got rid of nearly all of that stuff - the congregation stood up by default so you weren't implicitly restricted to a pew, you were explicitly allowed to come in or out whenever you needed except in a few important processions or prayers, the priest was facing the same direction as the congregation so he's not staring at you the whole time you're walking out, and all the walls were covered in iconography precisely so you could be catechized even when your attention is wandering and most of the services were repetitive enough that anything you tuned out of you'll probably hear again next week

the kids seemed a lot more chill about the lengthy service

*i* was a lot more chill about it at least
