The blessing of the devices

We’ve got the blessing of the animals. The blessing of the “plows”. And now the blessing of the tech devices. This makes Sistertech so proud of this British parish.

“It’s the technology that is our daily working tool, and it’s a technology we should bless,” Parrott said.

The short blessing capped Monday’s services at the Christopher Wren-designed building — the official church of the Corporation of the City of London, which runs the capital’s bustling financial district.

Parishioners took out cell phones as 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.
