Hey All,
Do you remember a post from a few days ago that had a picture of a church van parked in front of an adult book store? The name on the van was Woodlawn Baptist Church in Woodlawn, TN.
I contacted the church and asked about the image. Here's a copy of the response that I received from the pastor of the church explaining what happened:
Tom,
Thanks, for the concern. It is an old picture (10 Years or so) and the van was not owned at the time by our church. It had recently been sold to a local tobacco farmer. The farmer's migrant workers where in the van when the picture was taken. The church name was supposed to be painted over prior to it being driven however that did not occur. It was painted over immediatly after this picture was brought to the farmers attention. Please keep this picture in your prayers it has long since gone viral and we hear about it regularly.

So, cynics might brush off the explanation, but I, for one, appreciate and believe the pastor's explanation.
