“For millions of Americans, Sundays may be just like any other day of the week. Gone are the “blue laws” that kept merchant’s doors closed and elevated church as the main reason to get dressed up and venture out of the house. But it’s not just shopping that fills our Sundays. Everything from work to weekend chores to the kids’ ball games may be consuming the hours once devoted to rest, worship and family.”
--Maureen Hayden, “Sunday Loses Its Special Place in a Busy world,” The Eastside Journal, August 15, 1998.”
