A VERY INTERESTING READ:
He said he first became alarmed while visiting another megachurchs worship service on a Fourth of July years ago. The service finished with the chorus singing God Bless America and a video of fighter jets flying over a hill silhouetted with crosses.
I thought to myself, What just happened? Fighter jets mixed up with the cross? he said in an interview.
Patriotic displays are still a mainstay in some evangelical churches. Across town from Mr. Boyds church, the sanctuary of North Heights Lutheran Church was draped in bunting on the Sunday before the Fourth of July this year for a freedom celebration. Military veterans and flag twirlers paraded into the sanctuary, an enormous American flag rose slowly behind the stage, and a Marine major who had served in Afghanistan preached that the military was spending your hard-earned money on good causes.
