This event for a good cause is promoting sin-- that is if Hip-Hop, Techno, Heavy metal and all of thier entrappings are considered sin.
Some have criticized the strong stance that some take against sports, but then play golf.
Square dancing opens this church up to the same criticisms.
Running and jogging is "sport." Even hiking in the outdoors is "sport." Climbing, skiing, weight lifting, any type of "cardio workout" - they're all sports. Playing outright sporting games is the end result of all this compromise?
Is it best just to git on down to the Golden Corral and load up on the biscuits and gravy to avoid this slippery slope altogether?

Yeppers, wouldn't want things like biblical principles and convictions and of course downright bible mandate to dictate what we do, where we go and what we wear while doing it and going there.
Nor would we want to run the risk of doing something fun, because God hates fun.
Hiking and outdoors are my sins of choice. Going to sin for 5 miles tomorrow am at Bluff Point in Groton. It'll be cold, but people put up with a lot to follow thier addictions.
Of course I could be "holy" and hit the all u can eat breakfast buffet at the Ramada, nothing like a couple of bacon and cheese omelets, big pile of home fries, 3 slices of ham and biscuits and sausage gravy followed by a nice long nap to sleep it all off. That'll sanctify the day fer sure.

At church?... we are the church. Im not too familiar with sqare dancing, except that I think I have seen women wear big poofy skirts, and men dress like cowboys.
Is square dancing a weight or sin to that would beset us to participate in? I would think it would depend on what all/how it takes place, if it has any wrong(sin) in it.

Wrong or sin? No, I doubt it. Weird? Yes. Definitely.
