'Games pastors' offer spiritual support

LONDON:

At the Olympics, it's not just the athletes who go faster, higher and stronger. So do the emotions of spectators. Amid the mayhem, a religious volunteer army is on hand to offer spiritual succour, roaming London's transport network in blue baseball caps are 300 "games pastors". They are here to offer a listening ear and a helping hand, not to shove religion down anyone's throat.
