Friday, May 27, 2005 More Crazy NC News: Crosses Burned at Church Weds night in Durham NC, police found 3 large crosses burning within a 2 hr period. Police got the 1st call of a cross burning around 9:20 p.m. Weds night at a church (St. Luke's Episcopal Church). A 2nd cross was found burning in a field near Holloway and Dillard streets downtown. Police found a 3rd cross burning along S. Roxboro St near Martin Luther King Jr Parkway. At one of the sites, flyers were left behind baring Ku Klux Klan sayings. The pastor of St Luke's thinks their church may have been targeted by Fred Phelps, (yes, you all remember this freak who looks like The Cryptkeeper and has many lovely sites such as God Hates Fags) who had just recently picketed this church b/c they are gay friendly to their congregation. What a sin- a church that dares to be welcolming to ALL!... hat tip to Pam at Pam's House Blend for everything... and I'm never vacationing in NC ever again. |
