It gets as bad as it gets, when it comes to cellphones in Church. Recently, in a service I attended, a bishop received a call in the pulpit. I have had the same, although it was not my cellphone. I addressed a function in a Church, in the sanctuary. Before I entered the pulpit, someone asked everyone to be sure that their cellphones were switched off. But someone had stored a cellphone in the pulpit. In the middle of my address, it went off, under my very nose. I stopped and smiled, and a woman rushed to the front, with her hands over her head. That would have been bad enough, but then she answered it, and forgot that anything else was happening around her. Someone jostled her down the aisle and out of the door -- still talking.
