I recently visited all the World Orthodox parishes in my area for Divine Liturgy when I was considering overlooking their issues for the time being (Greek Archdiocese, Antiochian, OCA, ROCOR). Only the Antiochian parish had everyone exchange the Kiss of Peace with a handshake before the Creed, and I immediately suspected that was an innovation. In fact not even the Uniate churches (Ukrainian and "Byzantine" formerly Ruthenian) I visited before do that...

Wherever even the last two or three are gathered together in His name, there He is in their midst.
