Celtic 0 – Rangers 1

Well, the Rangers won the football (soccer) match one goal to nil over Celtic.  And the Scottish religious leaders were in attendance with the first minister.  They finally arranged their schedules and security for Church of Scotland Moderator Alan McDonald to attend a Celtic-Rangers football game with Cardinal Keith O’Brien as a show of support for the Scottish initiative to stop sectarian violence.  They were joined by the First Minister and religious leaders from other faiths.  The attendance by the dignitaries is covered by BBC News, but you can get a rundown on the game itself from Soccernet.

In a related development, former Church of Scotland Moderator John Cairns will be one of the protestant participants in an April 17 golf tournament.  The event, featuring both protestant and catholic clergy, is also related to the campaign to eliminate sectarian violence.
