| Richard:
A report given yesterday showed that in the timeframe 30 churches
were burned, 100 white churches were burned.
I don't make light of this by any means, but I do believe this issue
transcends the issue of race and bigotry. I believe the burnings are
hate crimes propogated by punks...who have no idea of the grave
mistakes they are making. As far as the black churches, yes, it is
highly likely the KKK or somebody from the KKK was involved.
The real question is, what are we as the body of Christ intent on doing
about it?

| Let's also not forget there are hundreds more White churches than Black
churches in the US.
Church buildings do make an easy target for vandals. Some of the
arsons of both predominently Black churches and predominently White
churches probably fall into this category. Some may be "copycat"
crimes.
However, it is not unreasonable to consider that there might be a link,
if not a conspiracy. What do the White churches being burned have in
common, and not just theologically?

| Actually Richard, thinking more about it...I am leaning toward the
conspiracy theory now.
The crimes are propogated by hate groups. The
significance here is that hate groups are stooping low to target the
church in an effort to persecute blacks throughout the south.
Regardless however of what the church is, I believe that the body of
Christ is being attacked here.

"...Truly I say to you, in so far as you did it to once of these,
the least of My brothers, you did it to Me." Matt 25:40
"But Saul, still breathing threatening and murder against the
disciples of the Lord...Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? And he said,
Who are you, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting."
Acts 9:1-5
To persecute a member or members of His Body is to persecute the
Lord Himself. A day is coming when this will be made perfectly clear to
all.
