    As a side note, that might be the worst written article I've ever read.
    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

        OK, maybe it just exists everywhere except for where I live as I move from state to state across the country.

          Can any of you please help a brother out w his reading comprehension?


          "The GCA church softball league is intended for fellowship among Christian churches. Not for members of different faiths. To call a group who proclaims a different gospel of salvation of Christian church is not only untrue, it is unloving. We cannot do this. We will not do this."

          W.T.F. does this mean? I can't make heads or tails of it.

            The comparison is that we have non members play ward basketball just not having their own teams.

              The Grove City Area Church softball league should be allowed to condition participation on any criteria of their choosing. Mormons shouldn't be upset at this.

                I already addressed that. We don't have open enrollment of teams. Instead, our teams are assigned by geographical location. Non-Mos can play on the team within their assigned geographical location.

                    In my Minnesota ward we won our regional volleyball tournament by fielding a team with 3 non-members from the varsity basketball team. Rules prohibited more than 3 non-mos on the court at the same time and if any of the 3 had played on a varsity volleyball team they couldn't have played. Forturnately our school didn't field a volleyball team.

                    Ironically the regional tournament was held at a Catholic school in Minneapolis.

                      Our stake basketball season just ended a couple of months ago. Nobody's said there's not going to be another season next year.
                      If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.

                        We have it in our stake. And, as an aside, we won the stake championship this year.

                            I believe there is a resurgence in stake basketball. All the kids who grew up playing deacons, teachers and priests ball are rising up and demanding that the fine stake center facilities be put back to their highest and best use.

                            Our stake recently concluded a league and tournament after 10 years or more of not having it.
