If the Phillies win tonight, which is a big if, we will have a game seven tomorrow at 8 PM. This will leave me with a problem. CSF meets on Thursdays at 7:30. People were distracted last Thursday when it was only game 2, no one will be focused when there is a game 7! So should we just cut our losses, cancel CSF, and watch the game?
Some might consider this a sacrilege: canceling a Christian worship time because of a baseball game? Wouldn't have CSF be a test of the students' faith, do they care more for Jesus or the Phillies and Yannkees? That seems like holier-than-thou pontificating to me. The whole point of CSF is to build a community of Christians on campus who can effectively reach out to their peers. Will this community be damaged that much if we set aside our normal routine to join those peers in a rare cultural experience (after all, game sevens are rare)? The right thing to do is probably to cancel CSF and encourage the students to watch the game with their friends. Those who do not like baseball can still get together for fun times.
Of course, if the Yankees end it tonight this whole thing is a moot point. We'll see.
