Brooklyn Minister Sworn In Via Cell Phone
A new senior minister was recently installed at the First Unitarian Congregational Society of Brooklyn... via cell phone. On the day of his installation ceremony, Rev. Dr. Patrick T. O'Neill found himself in the emergency room with a broken toe. When the ceremony began at 5:00pm, Rev. O'Neill was still hospitalized, so Lee Pardee, president of the congregation's Board of Trustees, called O'Neill on her cell phone. Turning on the speaker phone and holding it up to the church's microphone, O'Neill accepted the invitation to lead the congregation.
We're not really sure if this a brilliant solution to an unexpected setback or an absurd and inappropriate use of a cell phone.
