Smartphones Receive Holy Blessing

Posted by samzenpus on from the blessed-are-the-phone-makers dept.

jeffmeden writes "Plow Monday is normally for blessing laborers and their tools; as the name suggests it is aimed at those who work the land. A church service in London, England Monday decided to go after a more modern audience: office workers and their modern communication gadgets. From the Times article: 'The congregation at St Lawrence Jewry in the City of London raised their mobiles and iPods above their heads and Canon Parrott raised his voice to the heavens to address the Lord God of all Creation. "May our tongues be gentle, our e-mails be simple and our websites be accessible," he said.'"

    It's nice to know that *someone* is finally following through with my recommendations.

    May our tongues be gentle, our e-mails be simple and our websites be accessible...

    And the congregation responds: And may porn flow freely without fear of spam and malware.
