Sometime Saturday night St. David's Episcopal Church in Bean Blossom was vandalized. Three tags were painted on the outside of the church - a swastika, "Fag Church" and "Heil Trump."
We are disappointed that our safe haven has been vandalized but will not let the actions of a few damper our love of Christ and the world. We will continue to live out our beliefs and acceptance of all people and respecting the dignity of every human being. We pray for the perpetrators as well as... those who the derogatory marks were directed at.
We will move forward continuing to be the love of Christ in the world.
Any one is welcome on the sacred ground of the church. This act was an act of separation. Separation of us from each other and a separation from God which is the definition of a sin.
We pray for unification with God, with God's people and with ourselves.
This is only one image of a worldwide phenomenon in which we are dividing ourselves and the world from God.
We hope and pray that as the days and weeks continue we find a way to bridge this division from God and each other and ourselves.
