The Deacon's Bench
I noticed it this week during the retreat for deacon candidates and their wives: a surprising number of those here are following the Liturgy of the Hours on a Kindle, iPad or smartphone. The iBreviary is incredibly popular.
And now Tom McDonald reports a little piece of history:
Suzi LeVine, incoming US ambassador to Switzerland, was sworn in using a Kindle displaying a page of the 19th Amendment (which gave women the vote).
It’s evidently the first time that has happened.
Who knows where this will lead next. More swearing ins like this will likely follow.
How long until the Pope starts reading from one for the Angelus?
