The Blessing of the BlackBerrys
An Anglican church in London, England has done what e-mail addicts and workaholics have been doing for years - invoking God's blessing on their high-tech gadgets. Rev. David Parrott blessed laptops and smart phones
on the altar of the 17th-century St. Lawrence Jewry church yesterday. Canon Parrott said the blessing ceremony was an update of a traditional back-to-work event known as Plow Monday, in which villagers gathered to bless a symbolic farm implement dragged to the church's door. He said that ceremony didn't have much relevance for his church, which is "nowhere near a field in the middle of London."
