On July 27, the Atlanta Braves was the first Major League Baseball team to participate in the Christian “Faith Day” — a promotional event co-sponsored by the anti-gay Focus on the Family to get evangelical Christians to pack the stands of ballparks across the country."We have asked the promoter [Third Coast Sports] to not include Focus on the Family in our other two Faith Day events," Beth Marshall, Braves spokesperson, said Aug. 1. "We do not feel it is an appropriate connection for Focus on the Family to be part of this event."
Marshall declined further comment on the matter, but said the request was made two days ago.
The event that attracted some 3,000 members of local Christian churches to Turner Field on July 27, which included team speakers and Christian musicians, was begun in 2002 by Third Coast Sports. Until last week, Third Coast Sports’ “Faith Days” were only held at minor league games. [read the whole article]
