IN the NEWS - Churches Unite to Defend Sunday in U.K.

From the SECULAR online U.K. paper, the Telegraph 3/1/2017---
"For the first time, senior Roman Catholic, Church of England, Church in Wales, Methodist, United Reform Church and Salvation Army figures issue a joint statement opposing the government’s
plan to relax Sunday trading laws.
Plans to allow large shops to open for longer on Sundays will damage family life and do nothing to boost the economy, an unprecedented alliance of Christian leaders warns today.
The warning comes after ministers announced they would give local councils in England and Wales the power to allow large retailers in their area to open for longer, in measures contained in the Enterprise Bill, which is passing through Parliament."

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: (not the first day)
Genesis 2:3
