I didn't want to put too much forward but truly I'm interested in starting a secular church to capture new parents returning to the church. The main issue is the base organization would have to change. Sermon's would have to become a sometimes activity and we'd have to go back to the small gatherings of "Sabbath school" being the central activity... But WOW oh Wow is your insight about sport deep and well said. I think that could be the central focus of the group activity. And perhaps communal art and dance could be the primary replacement for the sermon. There's something there and I can see how focusing on sport makes the idea more palatable to people who aren't naturally open to meditation, yoga, or Buddhism.
