quicko: length of service

American churches tend to stick to sixty-minute services; any more and people start to get antsy about getting to soccer practice on time. The church I go to in Australia, though, supports a full ninety minutes of service. (There are very few soccer moms there.) And, oddly enough, it feels like sixty to me. Time flies when you're praising God!

Incidentally, Sunday mornings are often referred to as the most segregated time of the American week -- not so in Sydney. My church is incredibly diverse, and I suspect there are many others like it.
