Perhaps a nitpick - but I got the impression that this stunt was carefully
hidden in the back of the church to prevent discovery - the "fun" was the
broadcast of the blow-by-blow by the station person on the phone.

Did anyone in the church realize this was happening until the broadcast
made it obvious?

Regardless, an act of trespass and disrespect to the church and congregation.
