Yeah, my church doesn't allow them. I didn't get a letter, but when we booked the church we got a notice about what we could and couldn't do and that was on it.

A lot of churches had already banned them for liability, but now the diocese are making blanket policies. Someone on 2011 posted that they got a letter today too.

Booooo...

What diocese is it, Rockville Center? Cause Iour church is in Brooklyn, so I don't know if they're going to catch on by then or not...

YEs, my priest told me that the girls shoes (heels) get stuck in the runner and that causes them to trip. I wanted a runner but I go over it, lol. One less thing to buy.

My church pretty much doesn't allow anything.

No aisle runner.
No rose petals.
No rice throwing.
No bird seed.



ETA: Our Deacon told us that people were tripping and suing the church.
