What he is actually saying is Amen and what he means is, "do you agree"? I
find it quite amusing when an American preacher is faced with an English
audience. Because of the way we have been brought up (though this is
changing) we sit there politely and listen to what is being said without
interruption. This seems to unsettle American preachers and they start
cupping their hand to their ear and saying, "Hello...", or "Is anybody out
there"? However, I once went to hear a black American preacher and he was
quite impressed with his English audience. Firstly, we spent and hour in
praise and worship and he said that he was going to use this fact to prompt
his own congregation to increase their efforts. Secondly, the way we
listened seemed to reveal something to him. He was a little uncomfortable
but seemed to realise that we were listening and, again, commented that his
own congregation had got into the habit of interjecting at inappropriate
moments. He said that he could say, "Mary had a little lamb" and someone
would shout, "Hallelujah"! (Hmm, it's just struck me that "Mary had THE
lamb" is something to shout, "Hallelujah" about.
