A great attribute of our parish church is that it faces the East. The people, when they are praying, are facing the risen Christ. From the earliest times Christians have prayed facing the East looking forward to the coming of Christ in his glory.
The priest and the people together ought to face one direction, offering one prayer to the Father. When I face the people during the Eucharistic prayer I feel like I am entertaining them or doing something for them to watch. If I could stand with them facing the same direction it would indicate that the prayer is offered to the Father.

you can do it! i believe in you ;}
tee hee!
Would you be willing to say a traditional Latin Mass at Church of the Resurrection? I love the Latin Mass!
in order to celebrate the extraordinary form we would need a significant number of people that desire it. otherwise I would recommend going to St. Anthony.
