When I became a Christian it was in/at St. Georges Tron. At the evening service we routinely had our Bibles propped open on the "shelf" of the pew in front. Many had notebooks out and were note-taking. There was also a dimming of the lights during the service and a sense of you settling in to listen (and write).
I have attended markers meetings for the SQA where you basically have to annotate the mark scheme and pay close attention to the arguments over a 2-3 hour period (with a break for lunch. On one occasion they provided chairs. It was a disaster! We were trying to take notes on our laps!
It occurs to me that the move to stackable chairs basically causes a problem for those wanting to take notes and have an open Bible in front of them. I usually end up using the chair beside (assuming there are empty seats) and balancing a Bible on my lap.
The school music department used to use chairs with a shaped arm rest on one side designed to allow notetaking. Would this be a possibility for churches wanting flexibility in the usage of the building.
My Grandfather used to take a cushion into church, and it was accepted. I find myself thinking about taking in a bean-bad tray to allow me to take notes!
