    The “listening to sermon” looks strangely like the old shampoo position for prayer, (although I’m guessing it’s meant to represent snoozing).

    Kneeling seems to also involve levitation. tricky for most of us.

    I think you need an attending a PCC posture (this requires extensive training) a position for avoiding the coffee rota lady and making a descrete comment to a neighbour without the vicar noticing… all essential for survival in most Anglican churches.
