What comes to mind to me is the conversation years ago about Sunday shopping. Our denomination's stance was that it's not about preventing people the possibility of the choice that they want to shop on Sunday, but what are the implications for those who are mandated to be engaged or work because the activity is going to be made available? I think that's what you're raising. I think certainly, yes, there would be, in some of our communities, a sense that this is an imposition on not just worship time but, as you stated, a time that families hold as sacred out of whatever week they have and the relationships that they want to cherish.
