Watching the cricket over the summer has given me plenty of time to muse on many things. In particular, I was trying to work out why the nation seems to have been so taken up with the sport this time around. After all, cricket is on the agenda every year. Much of the credit, of course, goes to the team and the personalities, but also Channel 4's presentation has been brilliant. Cricket has become the ultimate spectator sport. There has been a certain Kudos in getting to know the meanings of terms like slip, gully and square leg….. In short, a serious business has become fun and an in-thing to watch and do.
What if Channel 4 was to take on doing church in the same way?
Just a thought……
