I'm reminded of a story of a famous story related to Metropolitan Anthony of Sorouzh. Roughly paraphrased, he once stepped out of the Royal Doors to give a homily. Instead, he told the congregation, "Yesterday a woman came here with a child and somebody told her to leave because she did not have a head covering. Whoever that was, pray for this woman. Because of you she may never enter a church again and her salvation is now on your soul". He then went back into the altar and continued with the Divine Liturgy.
Vladyka Mark of Philadelphia did something similar, when a woman came in and was told the drug rehab was down the street.
