In light of the latest instructions from the Church of England's Bishop for Sport that it's fine to miss church to watch the Women's World Cup Final, I thought the Beaker Folk had better list all the sporting events coming up on Sunday that you might want to miss Moot House meetings for:
20 August - Women's World Cup Final
27 August - Dutch Grand Prix
3 September - Burghley Horse Trials
10 September - Rimini Moto GP
17 September - Singapore Grand Prix
24 September - Solheim Cup
1 October - Ryder Cup
8 October - Qatar Grand Prix
15 October - Nashville Soccer Club vs New England Revolution
22 October - US Grand Prix
29 October - Manchester Derby
So if you can fit in the odd visit to the Moot House, I'd be really grateful. But I'd obviously like to stress that it is strictly optional. I wouldn't like you to feel compelled in any way.
The classic is, "The Lord's people at the Lord's Test on the Lord's Day".
ReplyDeleteSo can finally admit that allowing sport on Sunday is the real reason people these days tend not to go to church? Or might it be the other way round?
