FWIW, communion has it’s roots in the Passover Seder, and is symbolic of the events in Jesus’ Last Supper. Just pointing this out so it doesn’t seem so weird…
I think you’ve misunderstood and made at least one incorrect assumption.
I joke only with the sincerest of respect for everyone’s right to believe whatever they like. I have told her where I stand on the issue and we are both able to laugh and respect our religious differences. I would not dream of insulting anyone by attending their religious service and then make fun of it/them. On the other hand, I find that religious beliefs (or the absence there of) are often taken far too seriously.
Thanks everyone for your replies. I’m looking forward to my Episcopal field trip. That which does not kill me… 
So, how did it go? I hope it was an enjoyable experience.
Wow! Thanks for remembering.
Have not actually made it out yet. Still planning to do it just not sure precisely when. It’s imminent though. If for no other reason than to observe my girlfriend in a completely different and foreign (to me) evironment.
I’ll report back on the experience after I’ve done it.
Usually to keep the early morning service shorter. Often people attending this have to go off to work or travel that day (especially if it’s a weekday morning). And the music is theologically incidental to the service, so can be easily dispensed with to make it shorter.
Also, much of the singing comes from/is led by a choir. These are volunteers from the church. They usually put in one evening a week (traditionally Wednesday night) practicing, plus arrive early to get robed & have a short practice. So you can hardly expect them to attend every service on Sunday and do that – just too much work for volunteers.
