Wesleyan practice is generally limited to
the seated expression of genuflexion. While the body is
thought to be at rest in this position, the trained eye will recognize
it as disguised in
prayer or attentive discipleship. Attention is best given to preachers when
the knees are both bent at right angles to the ground and the thigh is parallel
with the soul. This is sometimes referred to as co-ambidextrous genuflexion. Casual or indifferent practitioners
sometimes place the ankle bone of one leg on the knee bone of the other
(known as a variant double-genuflexion on two intersecting planes)
enabling books to rest comfortably. |
