On the verge of the Super Bowl, football fever got liturgical today.
South Louisiana resident June Butler, known to readers of her blog as Grandmère Mimi, had church today with a sanctuary filled with Saints fans and a priest bedecked in a specially themed chasuble.
Fandom doesn’t stop at the state line. At the Diocese of Mississippi’s diocesan convention today, at least three priests showed up for the closing eucharist in Saints themed stoles, while a fourth rocked a Saints necktie.
We understand the time of today’s diocesan convention eucharist was moved up so that people who live as far away as the coast could get back home in time for kickoff.
Ah, but this was only one side of the football. Are there any Colts fans that are also Episcopalians?
UPDATE: St. Matthew’s Cathedral, Laramie, WY takes the Via Media
