Alabama church signs iReport: 'Sermons in a Sentence'Among the submissions we received for CNN's recent church sign iReport was a voice-tracked montage from an Alabama-based iReporter who calls herself amandawriter. "After seeing the church signs assignment, I had to take a drive this afternoon around my region here in central Alabama," she says. "There are so many churches - and so many stereotypes about the Bible Belt, especially its supposed religious intolerance - that I wanted to see what the signs actually reflected. What I discovered might surprise you." More background on Amanda's iReport here. And if you haven't yet, check out the post from our pastor/iReporter on how and why he devises church sign messages. |

I happen to enjoy reading the church signs, I am from California and we too do the church signs and I find them very uplifting. I really feel they are genuis way's to spread the word of God
I agree with 'bighead.' In her introduction, she obviously portrayed preconceived biases about Southerners and the religious. I'm glad she took the time to educate herself. I find it interesting that the main ones that preach diversity are sometimes the most intolerant. Would this iReporter ever attend a service? Churches contain more information than the signs that advertise for them.
She's a funny one to talk about intolerance. She was pretty judgmental in her pre-determined views of southern churches.
