The Amidah

I know it's been a while, but here it goes again.
I went to shul this past friday for the first time in America in 2008. And for that matter for 5768.
That night was the first night that we were using the Miskan T'Fillah, the newest reform siddur. Our synagogue is starting to use it, but rather slowly to make the transition easier from Gates of Gray to Miskan T'Fillah.

Our clergy has come up with a system of at the end of every month we shall use this siddur and then by June 2, we will start using it for good on Friday nights and then by August using it good for Shabbat Shacharit. I was thinking that this past Friday night was going to be radiclly different and maybe we would try some new things.

Boy was I wrong.

We basiclly did the same thing with a new siddur, just because there aren't any places where it says "Please rise" "Please sit" doesn't stop them from putting in their own ideas. Okay, so I know I am being a bit ridiculous with the whole CTK Reform Judaism, but sometimes I would like to actually have that CTK!! No at my synagogue.
This past summer I was told numerous times to change the world. Friday night I thought I might give it a shot, right?

At the oneg filled with chocolate top cookies and cakes of all sorts, I marched up to our head Rabbi. I asked her, "Why don't we stand for the entire Amidah? Isn't that what we are suppose to do? Imitate the angels?" She responded, "Where does it say in the Torah that you are suppose to stand for the Amidah, why can't you sit for the Amidah?" Hmm...at that point I was confused but couldn't stand up for myself. I was defeated. At least I tried.

After explaining this to my mother, she told me it's not easy to argue with a Rabbi, but it got me thinking. Since when does MY synagogue follow all the laws of Torah and Halacha?! That would of been a good argument. But the point is, we sit down in the middle of the Amidah. It doesn't make sense to me. The Amidah means standing, I know in Israel they sometimes call it shmone׳esrei, even though there could be 19 prayers in the Amidah, but that's a whole different story.
If the same thing happend to you at your shul, how would you go about it?
