This is a little off topic, but I do agree with you. Seems like the money would've been better spent serving homeless people, sending out missionaries, or something like that. Sometimes I think churches get too wrapped up in brick and mortar.
But, I suppose the money for the cross was donated by one family in the church at the time, so it wasn't really a decision by the church itself....more a desire of one church member.
To each his own I suppose.
