***FWIW, my church has Bibles.***
In the pews?
Every Catholic Church has bibles in the reception area or at the back of the church, but not usually in the pews.
In the pews! Also, we have two services going on simultaneously - one in the traditional sanctuary and that is where the pews are situated. The other service is held in our activity center since it holds a much larger number of people. The seats are chairs we put up and take down. Bibles are in portable racks and you grab one as you walk in, along with the bulletin which greeters will hand you.
I happen to attend an awesome church that goes against the grain. The Synod has spent a lot of time studying us because of our growth.
Thanks for asking!
