Re: God and PC
Is it 'political correctness' if a condition of participation is a mixed team? It's a bit like complaining that it's 'political correctness' to insist that a jockey must ride a horse.

Re: God and PC
I don't know the activity the 'Street Pastors' are involved in. Pub quiz? Competitive clog whittling? Star Wars re-enactment ballet? But apparently not fielding a mixed team is doing a 'political correctness'.

Re: God and PC
I had to google "Street Pastors". Wikipedia came to the rescue.
Looks like a meld of Neighbourhood Watch, vigilante patrols and proselytisers. Yes, if a local outfit of budding Street Pastors cannot find a single woman in its locale to participate, it's probably a good idea to not form a team. A better idea, though, would be to not allow the formation of any teams at all.Street Pastors is an initiative of Ascension Trust. Individual street pastors are Christian adults with a concern for their community, who undergo 12 days of training in order to voluntarily patrol the streets of towns and cities at night...
Street pastors wear a blue uniform, with the term 'Street Pastor' visible in white. Street pastors work closely with councils and police in their local areas, but maintain an operational independence...
Street Pastors was founded in Brixton, south London, UK in 2003 by Rev. Les Isaac. It was based on a model from Jamaica in which individual churches joined together to take their values out onto the streets. Street Pastors is an initiative of the Ascension Trust, a registered charity established in 1993. The initial activities of street pastors in areas such as Lewisham and Hackney focussed mainly on confronting gang culture and the use of knives and guns. As Street Pastors started to operate in other areas of the UK, the initiative responded to other local issues, including anti-social behavior and drunkenness.

So no competitive clog whittlers then? Shame.
