People have many strong thoughts and emotions when it comes to their phones. Simply ask, in an online tech forum, if Android or Apple is better and you will see the grossest pieces of what humanity has to offer over something that in many ways is trivial. Both get the job done, it’s just is one 95% efficiency or the other one 1-3% more efficient. Others have to have phone notifications and ringers off because the temptation to look, even in times where it is unacceptable to check, is too much.

I want to take a look at this controversy of protecting user data with the lens of the Church and come up with some best practices that churches need to implement today if they want to avoid catastrophe.
