It really is the mobile decade when a UK church has a mobile blessing ceremony
by Melody Adhami on 11th January 2010Just last night I posted an entry where I claimed that it is definitely the mobile decade and just as morning hits, my words are being validated. How you ask? Just take a look at the top headlines on Yahoo news and you will see.
A church in the UK has held a ceremony in which about 80 participants brought their mobile phones to get blessed in a formal ceremony. The idea came from a historic tradition where workers would bring the tools of their trade such as ploughs to be blessed on the first Monday after people return to work following Christmas. And that is exactly what they did on this Monday January 11th, 2010 ceremony. They brought their work tools and parishioners took out cell phones as Rev. Canon David Parrott recited a blessing over them and their electronic devices. A few held their phones up in the air as he ran through the prayer and blessed their most sacred devices.
My point proven! It really is the mobile decade when mobile devices find a formal place in the religious institutions.
