So we have this signal in American churches: amen. It means this prayer is now over, please open your eyes. It's a hard and fast rule, and we're quite good at it.
No such rule here. It's very disconcerting. You pray in groups and suddenly someone finishes and gives the signal and up you pop, looking around for tea and coffee, only to realize everyone else is still bowed in prayer. Amen?
