Sign of the Cross

Do Protestants make it?

I was reading over at Open Book an article about this and I realized I had never noticed if my Protestant friends do or not. The only time I've been in a church with them for a service was when they went with me to Mass, and even then I didn't notice.

Anyone know?

I'm Baptist-we don't make the sign of the Cross, but we use the Cross as a symbol in our church. Usually, there will be one behind the pulpit.

We didn't make the sign of the cross in the Methodist Church, and most of the protestants that I knew didn't. I think that maybe some Lutheran and Anglicans do though.

In some protestant groups that I was in in college I had to be very careful not to make the sign of the cross, because it would out me as a Catholic, and there was unfortunately an anti-Catholic bias in those groups.
