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.'"

Same God accepting ethnics cleansing, masochism as a way of salvation and supposedly communicating in extremely obscure ways? Yeah, I can see that...

"Another example of why organized religion is bullshit."

No, this is an example of why some organized religion is bullshit.

It's the Church of England for god's sake, what did you expect? It was created so a king could get a divorce and it's been a joke ever since.

What if Obama created Church of America, would anyone care?
