It has been said that Football is the new religion. The ‘beautiful game’
certainly does generate a lot of passion and love it or loathe it you
certainly can’t get way from it.
How many pages of newspaper and magazine print have been taken up
with the media interest in the lives of some of the modern day football
superstars? The Sunday papers devote dozens of pages covering the
events from the previous day plus every day of the week on Sky you can
watch a live match. Here in Chester we have read with interest the fall
and hopeful rise of Chester City FC! Certainly football as a sport has
developed over the last 10 years with attendances increasing across
the Premier and Championship Leagues by 31% with television
audiences growing to just under 25 million viewers per season!
As I write this it seems as though we have wall to wall coverage
of football as the world Cup takes place in South Africa, the

Hoole with his wife Sue
the time you read this the answer will be academic as either England

at Hoole Baptist Church,
the pubs in and around Hoole are all geared up and focused on the
on Westminster Road,
World Cup with many of them showing all the games live! So how
as Youth Pastor, before
do football and Christianity compare? An interesting statistic I read
becoming the Pastor and
recently was that there are still more people in church on a Sunday
now Team Leader.
then in all the football stadiums across England, when you reflect
on football matches certainly there are some similarities to Christian
worship:
• Where do large crowds gather to sing and chant?
Churches and football grounds.
• Where do large crowds raise their hands in the air in exultation?
Churches and football grounds.
• Where do people gather to express their collective aspirations, their feelings, their emotions?
Churches and football grounds.
Now of course the resemblance is only superficial. Bread and wine is not the same as pies and
Bovril. The adulation of our football heroes falls short of worship but only just. All our footballers
can do is play football to the limit of their ability. They give us delight when they show their
skills, and satisfaction when they win on our behalf. So does this make football a new religion
– it’s certainly true there are some familiar characteristics with going to a football match and
attending church. Where else would you find groups of adults singing and gathering together to
worship? Where can you belong to a crowd of people who are all following the same thing? We
are making the players into idols, and the ‘professional game’ some would say is in crisis. The
amount of money invested in the top clubs is immoral and can sometimes make the players and
managers seem “god like” in their adoration and following. So I would suggest for some it is!
Don’t get me wrong I love football but it is not the No 1 thing in my life; there is only person who
is really worth following and worshipping, he is Jesus Christ.
I stayed in a really old hotel last night. They sent me a wake-up letter.
