Ever heard of Lent Madness? It's an Episcopal spin-off of March Madness, and invites participants to vote as scores of Episcopal saints go head to head.

here. To whet your appetite, here's how we got here.
If and when I ever teach my "Preposterous Saints" course again, I think we might do a version of this ourselves!
