First Korean Presbyterian Church

I’ve recently moved to NYC and have been looking for a new church to attend. I’d rate this place 5 stars for the English Ministry (New Life) sunday service being genuine and having nice people. Predominantly a 20’s group with a young minister. However, let’s get to the reason why it gets one star. I grew up in the christian church and sundays were always important.
While the pastor, Reverend Joseph Chung, was walking towards the pulpit to preach, he stops to check his phone and takes a moment to write and send a text message in front of the whole congregation. Is there something more important at that moment than getting straight to the message? I mean, the last thing I would ever do is interrupt service or delay it. It is plain out disrespectful and unacceptable behavior. Then again, there were a handful of people texting during the worship service also.
I was so taken back by these actions. I can understand texting at the movie theater, a concert, a sporting event, or a play, but at a church service? What are you communicating as a pastor when you send a text message during worship? Essentially, you’re saying that there’s something more important you need to tell someone, and that need is more important than what’s right in front of you.
