Oh, Elizabeth. This is the church I want so desperately. This is church utopia, Ideal Church.
The one thing I see in you rlist that seems impractical to me is the one about everyone being named at Communion. Most of what you've got here are Doable things, even if some of them are Hard and Difficult things, and like rhipowered and sweet_adelheid, I think they would require a high degree of committment and resources. But the naming thing, while powerful and awesome, doesn't seem practical to me in most church settings. We sometimes have one thousand people at a Mass and like 20 or so people serving Communion. How are they supposed to know everybody's names? And say they do the name of the person in front of you, but not yours? Wouldn't that feel weird?
