I'm not saying that people should carry their bibles around daily (even though I do mine) and carring a bible everywhere you go doesn't equate holiness either ...people don't generally go to school (ill prepared)without their school books and they don't leave home without their cell phones with or w/o bible app ...
Trust me if people are forgeting to bring their bibles every time they go to church more than likely they don't pick it up through the week either ...I am not trying to condemn any one but the church has helped to promote the lazy christian ...
Yes, my mother was that way, she never wrote in her bible or folded a page...

We have missalettes containing the scripture for the masses..daily and weekend as well as holy days. They are kept in the church and some people have their own. So, whether there is an overhead or not (for the music or even some Coptic have the scriptures), the liturgy is contained within the missal and you follow along to read and pray that way with the exception mentioned. That's why I was wondering.. I mean, part of the worship is hearing the word and then the homily, so you're right about listening/hearing/reading when I think about it...people are called to celebrate in thanksgiving/participation. It's just that some of us don't have to bring a bible, it's in the church at our fingertips. I don't think that people who don't carry a bible daily or one to church are any less spiritual, though. ...for the general discussion.
Allow me to explain further and this has nothing to do with anyone personally but just something coming to mind regarding this topic: I knew someone who said she judges a person's spirituality by the amount of red notes written in between the lines and margin of their bible. Some people would not dare write in a bible as they would consider a sign of horrible disrespect. It's all about how we view things but that it could also erroneously charge another.
