Louisiana Episcopal parish to hang yellow penalty flags this Sunday for the social injustice done to their Saints

If you don't follow football, you won't understand this, but to bring you up to speed, the New Orleans Saints football team recently lost  was cheated out of the NFC Championship game by four referees from Southern California, one from the same county where the winning team, the Los Angeles Rams, hail from.

Saints fans and the nation, with the exception of Southern California, are outraged. Some have gone so far as to sue the NFL. United States Senator Bill Cassidy, who I happened to mentor once upon a time decades ago, stood up in the Senate and called for justice.

What else can you do?

Pray!

"Saints fans can turn to the Lord with their prayers for better officiating"

If the NFL isn’t going to throw a flag, Christ Episcopal Church will.

One of my relatives was a member of that parish in the past.

"Via Kim Chatelain of the New Orleans Times-Picayune comes the latest installment in Saints fans finding a way to vent their anger and process the grief of being jammed out of a trip to the Super Bowl.
Rev. Bill Miller, the rector of Christ Episcopal in nearby Covington, is doing his part to help distraught fans channel their feelings in a more productive way during services Sunday.
'Folks will be encouraged to wear black and gold,' Miller said. 'And we will distribute yellow penalty flags during the service but will turn them into prayer flags on which they can write an injustice or a challenge they wish to change, or work toward changing.'”

I wonder how many will write down the injustice the Saints endured two weeks ago. I don't think anyone will write down the injustice done to the churches of the Diocese of South Carolina by the Episcopal organization.

"After the service, fans can leave to the tune of 'When the Saints Go Marchin’ In' and hang the symbolic flags on prayer lines outside the church.
'It’s really important that Saints fans take the high road and not stay stuck in the unhelpful place of anger and frustration,' Miller said.
If any good comes out of reminding his parishoners to focus their attention on solving a societal problem rather than griping about a football game, then that can only help."

Oh no, the social justice mantra. They should be hanging up rainbow colored flags instead because that is what that mantra always leads to.

"And if the gimmick helps goose attendance during the lull between Christmas and Easter for the non-regulars, that’s fine too."

That parish already has pretty good attendance. As their annual report attests they are "an anomaly" in that they have grown (except for taking a step back last year). Perhaps they are doing well because they claim to be,

"a sacramental and altar-focused community, biblically centered, and mission-driven. We are called to proclaim the good news of God in Christ". 

Indeed, I find nothing on their web page to suggest they would hang the rainbow flag.

Good luck to them. They'll need it because the name of the game in the Episcopal sect is, play by the rules of the progressive agenda or else you will, like the New Orleans Saints, lose everything.
