Cut off the quote above sorry :

Reacting to the news of the burned churches, Christian Coalition of Alabama President John Giles stated, “When someone commits a disgraceful cowardly act and assaults the Sacred House of Worship, it is a not only sad day in Alabama, but also a sad day in America. Whoever is responsible for these acts should be federally prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. When the House of the Lord is not safe, then no where in America is safe.”

Many of these churches were Historic landmarks that are now gone. Luckily one 100 year old church was saved.

Rehobeth Baptist Church was built in 1819 -- it has been completely destroyed.

Ashby Baptist Church was established in the 1870's, but it is unclear if the building is still the original building. I doubt it is as it looks like a brick building in the pictures I posted.

Old Union Baptist Church was built in 1886, and it suffered damage to furniture and carpeting. The fire was started in 2 flower pots below and American Flag that hangs in the sanctuary. Luckily two church members that live nearby had been called about the other fires that were happening and got to the church shortly after the fire there was set.
