The 31-year-old Mormon has more than once sat in the pew of his Sandy ward and let his mind wander. When that happens, he pulls out his iPhone 4 and sometimes plays his puzzle game, “1to50.” Or maybe he texts his friends across the aisle.
“I take the time in church to catch up with people I haven’t contacted in a while,” he said. “I text friends or family.”
One of my favorite signs I ever saw posted on church doors was on a Russian Orthodox church which said…
“Failure to turn off cell phone = 300 prostrations.”
