Brooklyn Heights Church Swears in New Minister Via Cell Phone

On November 18, the date of Rev. Dr. Patrick T. O’Neill scheduled Service of Installation at The First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn, a broken toe sent the good Reverend to the emergency room, where he remained hospitalized at 5 p.m. when the installation was to begin.

His absence didn't stop his devoted congregation, who enabled him to participate in own his installation via cell phone.
