Uh... This misplaced Episcopalian wouldn't: I never got into Holy Water, 
and neither did any of the people at St Philip's that I ever noticed, 
though I suppose it was always there for a reason, probably to do with 
the beliefs of the priests and Altar Guild as to what was proper.  I 
also noticed that my daughter's RC best friend, when visiting the parish 
and looking at our beautiful "stuff", did dip her fingers, cross 
herself, and genuflect (though there wasn't Communion happening at that 
time: it was just an empty nave and sanctuary, (empty except for the 
Altar, Reserve Sacrament and the Presence Light (and, of course, art and 
symbols); which I believe she understood, but I didn't say anything).
