Sadly, Keely, you have the wrong impression once again. I know of lots of girls and women who were/are Christ Church members who play/have played sports at the Junior High, High School, and College levels, as well as just recreationally. This man of the chest personally approves whole-heartedly of it.

Wow! Glorifying God through intelligent, hard-hitting rugby! Grrrrrrrrrr!<br>And this from our only known ecclesiastical sponsor of boxing matches for<br>men and boys. How very manly. I just love sweaty men with muscles, torn-up
<br>knees, and those kicky little shorts.<br><br>Why didn't Jesus and the Original Scrum of 12 think of that? And will we be<br>looking for a God-glorifying women's sports team out of the Kirk anytime<br>soon? Will they glorify the Savior by hitting hard, or is that just a
<br>privilege for men of chest?<br><br>Sadly, this inquiring mind thinks she pretty much knows . . .<br><br>keely<br><br><br>From: "donald huskey" <<a href="mailto:donaldrose@cpcinternet.com">donaldrose@cpcinternet.com

<br>Since sports trivia continue to be a hot topic on 2020 I thought I'd mention<br>that a hodgepodge of 2020 posters love a good old fashioned, down and dirty<br>game of rugby.<br><br><a href="http://www.standysrfc.com/index.php?act=faq&article=5">
http://www.standysrfc.com/index.php?act=faq&article=5</a><br><br>"St. Andy's RFC (Rugby Football Club) is a Christian men's rugby team<br>centered in Moscow, ID. We play rugby with other men's teams in the area,<br>
including many college teams. We are an independently governed team, and<br>members of the Pacific Northwest Rugby Football Union(PNRFU). We were<br>founded in the fall of 2004 by some college students. In our second season,
<br>we ratified a constitution and elected officers, establishing our system of<br>government.<br><br>St. Andy's does not require a man to be a professing Christian to be a<br>member of or play for the team, but we do require each player to sign a
<br>Player's Contract which obligates him to conduct himself in a way befitting<br>a Christian. Players will be held accountable to their player contract.<br><br>We are committed to playing a style of rugby that glorifies our Lord Jesus
<br>Christ. Therefore we are dedicated to an intelligent, hard-hitting style of<br>play. In this, we seek to minister to our church, Moscow and the entire<br>northwest rugby community. We expect an attitude of respect and humility
<br>both on and off the field.<br><br>Our goal is to be the best men's rugby team in the country. The church is in<br>a position to gain significant influence over the sport of rugby because of<br>its newness on the American sports scene. We seek to reform rugby culture
<br>into something the church can be proud of and glory in. To learn more about<br>what we think about rugby and other things, take a look at our newsletters<br><<a href="http://www.standysrfc.com/index.php?act=faq&article=8">
http://www.standysrfc.com/index.php?act=faq&article=8</a>> .<br><br>In the past we were entirely funded by the generous donations of individual<br>sponsers. Building on our base of individual supporters, we are now seeking
<br>corporate sponsorship. For more information about how to support St. Andy's<br>RFC financially, visit our sponsorship<br><<a href="http://www.standysrfc.com/index.php?act=faq&article=4">http://www.standysrfc.com/index.php?act=faq&article=4

<br>respect and humility both on and off the field."<br><br><br><br>Judging from recent game scores, even God isn't on their side!<br><br><br><br>Rose Huskey<br><br><br><br>=======================================================
