Joey Skaggs' Portofess www.joeyskaggs.com/html/port.html

"If people can confess on Oprah, Phil and Geraldo, I don't see why they can't confess right here on Eighth Avenue." So said Father Anthony Joseph, a Dominican priest from San Bernadino who peddled a confessional booth mounted on the back of a tricycle to the site of the Democratic National Convention in New York City during July of 1992. 

Portofess, as the confessional was called, provided religion on the move for people on the go. A manifesto handed out to passersby stated, "The Church must take a more aggressive stance. The Church must go where the sinners are!"
