Should Churches Fly the England Flag During the World Cup? | Vanessa

A Church of England bishop has called for churches to fly the St George’s Cross during the tournament, saying it could be a way to celebrate national pride and bring communities together during a major sporting moment. Supporters say flying the England flag would be a harmless show of support for the national team and a chance for churches to connect with people during the World Cup. Critics argue that churches should remain neutral spaces and avoid mixing religion, patriotism and football. Is flying the St George’s Cross outside churches a celebration of community spirit, or should places of worship stay out of football fever? #StGeorgesCross #WorldCup #Vanessa
