Dealing with disturbances in church
Sarah Creedy
Picture this scene. It's Sunday morning in your local church and the second hymn has just finished.
As the page number for the Bible reading is announced, more than a dozen people scattered throughout the congregation climb onto their chairs, unroll banners and begin chanting insults and obscenities so that the pastor is unable to make himself heard. A second group bursts through the main doors and parade round the church throwing leaflets as they shout at the congregation. What happens next?
