Grace Note for May 2, In a church marketing newsletter, called the Churchs Advertising Network, a campaign was developed to attract unchurched people to church during the season of Easter. In this public relations campaign, it was suggested that the cross be removed from the altar. According to the writer, a survey has revealed that the cross is one of those symbols that the new generation of potential church goers considers too churchy. One pastor interviewed for the campaign gave his whole-hearted endorsement of this strategy saying, We are going to attempt to concentrate on the resurrection, and not the death of Jesus. Easter without the cross. Rather an interesting thought. Is it possible to have resurrection without crucifixion? No. It distorts the entire gospel if crucifixion is separated from resurrection. The road to the empty tomb will forever pass by a cross. The one who is raised from the dead is none other than the crucified Christ. Easter without a cross is a hoax. Jesus crucified and risen from the dead is the Gospel.
