World Youth Day

Phillip Jensen on secularism, World Youth Day and why taxpayer funds should support the hosting of it. Well argued.

What about the thing, that 2 (or 3?) congregations of St Paul's Carlingford can't have their usual services during WYD, because WYD will use the school buldings in which the congregations meet on sundays? As far as I remember this has been also decreed by the NSW government. Does this also fall under 'hospitality'?

That's one piece of hospitality that I wish the landlord hadn't extended!

But to be consistent, I suppose that we shouldn't complain but take advantage of the use of the regular facility to do something hospitable—perhaps invite pilgrims to a sausage sizzle on behalf of the local Protestant church!
