All masses henceforth should follow this template, particularly if they happen to coincide with a major sporting event.
Lazy assumption it may be, but it’s pretty safe to say that most of you reading have probably had to attend a mass, a christening, wedding etc. that happens to be taking place at the same time your team is in the middle of a major match.
Rather than people having to secretly check their phones, or worse, listen to the game on the radio via an earpiece, Pastor Tim Christensen of Gold Hill Lutheran Church in Butte, Montana saved everyone the bother by shortening the 11am service (the same time the game was taking place) to just a minute long to ensure that everyone missed as little of the game as possible.
We’re not sure how the more religious, non-American football supporting members of the church would have reacted to Christensen’s shortened service, but most seemed to agree with it and besides, how could one not be charmed by his easy demeanour, his very amusing speech and the kissing of the guns at the end. And at the end of it all, his decision proved inspired as the 49ers won 23-10 to advance to the NFC championship game.
We wonder where he got his inspiration from?
