There is no such thing as the Christian flag in the Bible, but at least if a church has one, it should be held in more regard than the U.S. flag. From a reader who tried to do something about it:
10:28 am on July 1, 2012On a side note, for years my church flew the American flag above the Christian flag on the pole in our parking lot. I brought this up during our Bible study class only to be rebutted with numerous references to American Flag Protocol. It was a frustrating exchange, to say the least. Finally, one evening, I simply switched the position of the two flags. That lasted a couple of days, maybe. I then brought this to the attention of the Board of Directors … nothing. I envisioned our local media rag plastering a picture of this affront on the cover page with the headline, “One God, Under Nation?” Fortunately, one of the gentlemen on the Board eventually decided to purchase a separate flag pole of the same height which was installed a few feet away from the original. I helped dig the hole and measure for the correct depth. Right before the pole was mounted, I threw some extra dirt on the bottom of the hole to ensure that it would be at least an inch or so taller than the one bearing the American flag.
