Disturbing

Disturbing a Religious Meeting

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Disturbing a Religious Meeting (1): Under a statute against disturbing a religious meeting, it has been held that it should define what disturbance is punishable.709Also, mere want of attention or observance of ceremonies, as standing or kneeling at times, is not a violation of the law.710 Neither is singing out of time, unless done purposely,711 nor performing a proper duty, such as objecting to a silenced clergyman’s conducting the services.712
