I have long cringed at the fact that one of the country's oldest Christian youth organisations is called Crusaders. There have to be better role models for the King of Kings than a bunch of bigoted genocidal medieval thugs. If there was an Islamic youth organisation called Jihad, how good would that look? But Crusaders has just celebrated its centenary, and it was named in an age of different sensibilities.
But no more! Because it has celebrated its centenary by changing its name to -- Urban Saints.
Whether they still sound like a gangsta-rap girlband in another 100 years remains to be seen ...
