'Church chair of the future' unveiled

My reaction is as James Macinnes. It's surely not impossible to include some place in the back of a chair or under the seat, to put a hymn book, prayer book, service sheet etc. A solid proportion of our congregation don't want any change to the pews (or much else) anyway; if these are the alternatives they are to be offered, then they will be fortified in their views, and I'd have to agree with them. There has to be a trade off between portability and strength/comfort. I would hope to see at least half a dozen different designs that would allow a choice, depending on the priorities that any particular congregation may have.
