But in a sign of the times, Trinity Church and St. Paul’s Chapel both installed metal detectors this month. The metal detectors, installed March 1, will be there “until this world becomes a safer place,” said Trinity’s vicar, the Rev. “I thought it was weird,” said Rosie Meeks, of San Antonio, who visited St. Paul’s with her 9-year-old grandson. Kijuanna Winn, of Atlanta, said she had never seen metal detectors at a U.S. church before, though she was becoming used to seeing them elsewhere. Metal detectors remain rare at U.S. churches, even in security-conscious New York.
