“For Christians have a different world of their own, another table, other raiment, another sort of enjoyment, other fellowship, another frame of mind; for which reason they are superior to other men.” – St Macarius the Great. Homily 5.

One example is the modern worship of the body and sport. Sports activities are popular on Sunday mornings, when we should be in the Church of God. Children are obliged to take part in sports training on Sunday mornings, and their parents dutifully follow them.

One pious woman on her way to church, on seeing the Sunday morning joggers, remarked “….They’re running…running…! Running straight into the abyss!”
