From Louisiana-
Like most Saints fans, The Rev. Bill Miller was a
bit irate after referees blew an obvious pass interference call in
Sunday’s (Jan. 20) NFC Championship game that essentially robbed the New Orleans Saints of a trip to the Super Bowl in Atlanta.
Rather than simply seething in anger, the rector of Christ Episcopal Church in Covington
has decided to help the community re-channel its grief and anguish by
hosting “Black and Gold and Yellow Flag Sunday” during the church’s four
services on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3.
"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."
At
the conclusion of the service, the congregation will sashay to "When
the Saints Go Marchin' In" and hang the symbolic yellow flags on prayer
lines set up outside the church.
