I suspect the answer is more difficult than it might seem. You might be interested in the following post:(http://deligentia.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/deciphering-god-is-love/). Nice post!

I said that Matins starts at 8:30, and depending on how long it takes, the Liturgy starts about 9:30-9:45. The caller said no, he didn't want to know what time the service began, but what time it ended, so he could time his arrival just before the end and come in and light a candle.

Thank you for this information. The Lord is guiding the Church in these matters- into all the Truth expressed in action as needed. The Tradition stands, unshakable, but like a great Tree the Church bends as needed, bending low in service, rising high toward noetic realities, defeating the huffing, puffing powers of the air by the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Body and Blood offered for all.

That's interesting news, which I did not know. I would have to confirm it but I think the church here in Russia has the same system (in addition to the various saintly orders, which are given to laymen as well).

I can see awarding some based on longevity, but others should be reserved for more qualitative, spiritual achievements. Finishing top of your class is not the same as receiving the attendance award.
