Well, what can I say, George, I think your gonna love Imax 3D! ;-)

As Bob Aldridge mentions

I think I see a trenddd here! Here in Montreal, we are blessed with
two Imax houses of worship. One is of the Polaroid persuasion and the
other of the LCS. In both places, the holy scenes transpire a few feet
in front of the congregation. I don't think the projectionist is at
fault but rather is ordained by higher powers with infinite wisdom.

Yes, it is a miracle! Bless 3D, P3D, and our Ortho brothers and sisters.
May the House of Imax spreaddd across the landdds.

P.S. Yes the sermons are tiring, even for a devoted follower like me.
