Instead of us Protestants (especially us Reformed) allowing the Roman Catholic Church to determine when Easter falls every year (since, of course, we are not part of that communion), maybe NAPARC, as an organization, should unilaterally declare that, say, the second Sunday in April (just to pick a Sunday in the spring) will be the permanent date for Easter. Or perhaps one of our denominations (OPC, anyone?) could do it to get the ball rolling.
The problem, of course, is that the entire secular culture has bought into the fact that the RCC chooses the date and so, if NAPARC (or the OPC, etc.) were to make that move, there would then be TWO dates for Easter every year - one for us and one for virtually everyone else.
And, of course, non-Reformed Christians (the SBC, etc.) probably would not want to go along with us, and pick their own date. So now there's THREE different dates for Easter.
Now I'm sorry I brought the whole thing up. LOL
