We need uniform regulations in our country for the protection of Sundays. Among the regulations which are derived from the constitution are the extensive sales ban on Sundays and the legal regulations on working times that declare Sunday work as an exception. But there are also a lot of unwritten conventions about Sunday and it would not be easy to restore them if we once cancel them. Today we can still be relatively certain that we can arrange a joint undertaking with friends and acquaintances on Sunday. Families make joint excursions into the countryside.
Clubs invite their members to games and sport.
Sunday still sounds different, it is quieter, it still feels different, it is more relaxed, it even still tastes different in that we can sit down to lunch together in peace. This day provides the week and the course of the whole year with a rhythm of work and rest. We hold services in the churches on Sunday. That is the particular contribution of the churches to the Sunday culture. Our campaign to retain the Sunday culture is not aimed at making time for church services.
