I bet you Jesus always got five bars, even on AT&T. Deep in London’s financial quarter, St. Lawrence Jewry is modernizing its old “Plow Monday” ceremony (which would involve blessing farming equipment for the new week of work) in order to bless parishioners’ laptops and smartphones for their own, albeit less arduous, labour. Someone warned the priest not to use the holy water sprinkler, right? Reverend Canon David Parrott says “It’s the technology that is our daily working tool, and it’s a technology we should bless." Wow, right on.
