Sign of the Cross ping

[john drake]

As much as Christians should be proud to display their cross,living and practicing as a Christian is what is needed. The cross is a reminder of our Redeemer and the price he paid for our sins, not an advertisement. Actions always speak louder than words. Walk the walk and talk the talk and the rest who truly believe, will follow.

I do, as a public profession of my faith. It is an unusual cross and I get asked about it often. I bought it in Juarez, Mexico and have worn it ever since. It is a silver cross, (1 1/2 x 1 inch), with rounded edges. It has a dove at the intersection of the cross. In Spanish it says, “Jesus Es Mi Senor”, (”Jesus is my Lord”).

While I don't think images of Jesus are proper, I wouldn't wear one, but crucifixes, on others, don't bother me. I would not have a picture of Jesus, (since none exist, except for maybe the shroud), in my house. I wouldn't want one in my church, yet I have attended churches where they did have them.

I used to wear one that was made of antique nails lashed into a cross. Rustic. Got lots of comments. Wore it until the day I helped move a dresser upstairs, I was on the bottom and the top guy lost his grip. The weight of the dresser pressed that cross into my chest and bloodied me up some. I sort of wish it had left a scar. Anyway, a word to the wise - don’t wear a cross made of nails unless adhoc piercing is on your mind.

comes as the Anglican archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, appealed for more people to attend church this Sunday – even if they are "a bit vague" about religion. Williams, who is marking his final Easter as leader of the Church of England, said he does not "lose sleep" over the fact many people only attend church at Easter and Christmas. Speaking to BBC Radio 4, he said that he welcomed those with little connection to Christianity who just wanted to "let the story wash over them" knowing that they would not face a "doctrine examination".

More pathetic, wishy-washy crap from the outgoing Archdruid of Canterbury. GTFO soon so we can get Dr John Semantu in please...

No wonder the Episcopalians are on life support.

I started wearing a cross when on combat missions in Iraq and I still wear it daily as a reminder of my faith.

Thank God Rowan Williams is departing. He is a useless dhimmi. This Cardinal is more what Christians need.

I’m Jewish...As an outsider....back in my schooldays it seemed to me the girls wore crosses more than the boys. This would be a good thing to bring back particularly for the females. With a cross on the neck a boy will treat her with more respect sexually. Will not think she is easy. Plus she will feel she has to live up to certain ideals and not have sex. My 2¢ worth

I thought Catholics wore a crucifix with a corpus on it while the other denominations wore crosses.

I hate jewelry, but don't mind it on other people. I break necklaces of every kind, the same way I hook earbud cords on everything.

But I will answer the Lenten appeal and fix my best crucifix, wear it tomorrow to Mass.
