Crusaders/Urban Saints

After 100 years The Crusaders Union felt it was time to change the name to a less offensive one. Here is an article from the Times about it. Due to constitutional rules the name of the organisation will still be "The Crusaders Union" but will just run under the new name. Scottish Crusaders, though, is different! This is because it is a part of the overall Crusaders Union and this means a vote has to be taken to change from "Scottish Crusaders". I apologise if that is all a bit confusing!

Anyway, there is a meeting on Saturday afternoon to discuss and vote on what to do; all "leaders" are able to vote. Some people are really keen about the new name but it seems that there was little or no discussion about the change. This has left some annoyed and others are against the whole name as they think its silly!

There seems to be a huge chance of division and trench lines being dug over this. There is a great need for prayer!!!
