You mentioned you refuse to do it for sanitary reasons. Do you refuse to shake hands with others outside of church as well?
I need an introduction. Just to shake hands with 3,4,5 6 strangers without someone saying ‘Hey there Vaquero, this is so and so’ is more than uncomfortable. No I’m not a social butterfly. Nor do I care to be one. Don’t force it on me in this manner. There are social norms. Go through these norms before foisting someone on me.
