A Shreveport bishop says his church is going
"extreme" this year for its Easter program,
which will conclude with him being sealed in a
coffin for three days and emerging on Easter
morning, according to reports by two TV
stations. Bishop Rickey Moore with Sunrise Baptist
Church said his church is presenting a four-
part drama this Easter weekend, starting at 1
p.m. on Good Friday, including Jesus' trial,
the garden of Gethsemane, the crucifixion, and
the entombment.
He told KDAM-TV in Mississippi his time in
the coffin is no stunt, just his attempt to save
souls and get people to accept Jesus. He'll
spend his time praying and fasting, he said.
As for critics, he assures them he has no
Jesus complex: "I would like to get this
straight, I'm not Jesus, no where near him,"
Moore said. "I've made many, many mistakes.
I'm not perfect." Source: http://theadvocate.com/news/15297008-133/report-louisiana-pastor-sealing-self-in-coffin-until-easter-morning-resurrection
