Text Church Donations: Church leaders in Finland may lobby the government to let them raise funds via text messaging, a custom which is currently banned. “Parishioners could use their phones to donate money after the end of church services, so as not to disturb other worshippers.

People nowadays are not always in church” writes Reuters.
