Slate magazine has a great article and accompanying slideshow featuring their favorite church signs from around the country. Some make it because of their phraseology, some their ghetto-ness, , and some because of their simple sincerity and devotion to our Lord, even though resources were obviously tight. Below is my favorite. You can find the pictures here.
Also check out their other Easter and Religio-centric articles. There’s at least something of interest to everyone. And don’t worry, there’s even some stuff in there for all you atheists and agnostics out there! Let me know what you think of any articles you read:
