More proof that some people think they have a direct line to God: combine a cell phone mast with a crucifix, stick it on a church steeple, and have unlimited anytime minutes for prayer in your local calling area. It could also be taken as a commentary on how much passion and sacrifice is needed in order to get decent coverage without excessive drops… or possibly on what a person goes through when attempting to get to level II on a service call.

Strangely enough, we actually kicked this idea around at Holy Moly, because our steeple already looks like a cell phone tower, and we’d realized there would be a financial benefit for allowing a cell service provider to use our building as a tower base. As I’ve said, we already look like a little power substation, so it wouldn’t change the look that much… except this design is probably a little too “crucifixy” for our place, we’re more into minimalist ironmongery.

Still, it’s probably worth bringing it up again in a future Bishop’s Committee meeting.
