Respect in church includes striving to develop and maintain a prayful atomsphere, and being ever mindful of how we may be disturbing others. Respect in church also includes not chewing gum, nor wearing boots loaded with mud, or walking in and out of church during the service, unless for an emergency. If one arrives late one waits until a break in the service (for example, after a reading) before seating oneself. If illness requires one to excuse oneself from the assembly, that is another matter, and is fitting by way of real need. Cell phones should be turned off or placed in vibration mode before services begin.
