I've tried that a few times and had a couple of officiants refuse to use it. They insisted on doing it acoustically rather than trying to juggle a hand-held.
What is the oldest piece of gear you still use?

Too bad for them. Most are only doing something for about 10-15 minutes .... it's not that difficult. I can see it if they had to hold something else, but having the stand makes that a non-issue. I would politely remind them why we are really here.

Tell a preacher what his place is? I wouldn't dream of it around here. They'd take your head off. I usually will try to steer the officiant to a hand-held for outdoor things. Now, I'm going to try steering them towards the single-loop ear-piece before falling back to a lav. I had one preacher last year who took great pride in his volume (he wasn't near as loud as he thought he was) and he turned off my bodypack (yes, I tested it when I wired him). Then he lied about it. Made me look bad in front of a venue manager and subsequently I believe it cost me from being their first slot referral. Preachers can be real creeps.
