We're full of odd little quirks, but that's one of the traditions that makes our Church special to me.
I've studied many religions and I've found that there's generally one common rule -- "don't be a jerk." My Church works for me and I assume that yours works for you. We have both accepted Christ - and that's enough (despite what Jerry Falwell says).
Already breaking my "almost promise", but I couldn't agree with you more.
There's one major religion out there that appears to be warlike, but elaborating on that would be hijacking the thread.
If this tour of the relics is a good thing for the church, I'm certainly not going to throw cold water on it.
