Christians should turn off their phones in church

Dear Editor,
As Christians are praying, the ringtones of their cell phones break their communication with God. Some answer calls as they are in the church; others go outside to do so. The word of God is more important that the words issuing from phones, thus Christians should turn off their phones during worship, which lasts for 3-4 hours. They have the entire week (168 hours) to answer calls as against 4 hours to communicate with God.

They should have utmost reverence for God and turn off their phones to have unbroken and undisturbed communication during worship periods. Turn off your phones.
Yours faithfully,
George Carrington
