I for one believe that the Great Litany really is great, and I live for the first Sunday of Lent (and any other occasions that it might be used).

And I love the latitude given by the Prayer Book:

"To be said or sung, kneeling, standing, or in procession; before the Eucharist or after the Collects of Morning or Evening Prayer; or separately; especially in Lent and on Rogation days."

Did you catch that? Kneeling, standing, or in procession! I've done it kneeling (Trinity on the Green, New Haven) and I've done it in procession, but I have yet to do it standing. I suppose procession is a type of standing.

Church of the Advent, Boston, also sings the Great Litany in Procession.
