Scottish Religious Leaders to Attend Celtics/Rangers Football Match
Last December, as part of a series of efforts to halt sectarian violence in Scotland, there were discussions about the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, the Right Rev. Alan McDonald, and the Scottish Roman Catholic Cardinal Keith O'Brien attending a Rangers/Celtics football (soccer) match. Due to security and then scheduling issues the idea was put on hold. It was announced over the weekend that Rev. McDonald and Cardinal O'Brien would be joining First Minister Jack McConnell at the Celtics/Rangers match at Old Firm in Glasgow this coming Sunday. They will also be joined by religious leaders from other faiths.
