Default Re: in church

It's not an idiom*. I could mean one of two things:

1 It was in church that I decided to stop eating
2 I gave up [the practice of] eating in church

I'd guess that the 2nd is the more likely of the two, but it'd depend on context.

b

*ps (at least, not one I've met in a lifetime spent mostly in the South of England)
