Easter Sunday Priorities
Bayside Community Church in East Manatee, Florida will have the late Dale Earnhardt's number 3 Chevy available for viewing and photos on Easter Sunday. Fans have to sit through a worship service to get their picture taken with the car; they have to return for the following week's service if they want to pick up their 4 x 6 photograph. Lead Pastor Randy Bezet assures the public that using the car is not a gimmick but a fresh way "to communicate the ageless gospel."

So I guess a high and mighty intellectual like yourself would never fall for such 'idoltry'?
What if your precious Bishop Spong was signing a book after service? Would you go?
No, I wouldn't. I've only read one of Spong's books; it was OK, but I am by no means a Spong fan.
Also, I never used the word "idolatry" in my post. And I hadn't even thought of accusing Bayside Community Church of idolatry.
I do, however, think that Easter Sunday is not the best time for churches to do photo-ops, book signings, etc.
