"Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you, and utter all manner of evil against you falsely in my name. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in Heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you."

Those of us in other communions continue to pray for these churches as they stand for the truth of the Scripture.
I wonder if this will be treated as a hate crime?

Is there any specific meaning to the symbols drawn there? Is this related to the ongoing issue, or is it just a local gang tagging the church?

It looks like a combination of 666 with crosshairs.

Don't imagine the enemy of our souls is pleased with Truro. He must have stirred up his troops.

Well, isn't that just SPECIAL!

Could it be . . . Satan?

I wouldn't be surprised if the Chancellor and the PB were caught on videotape with the spray cans in hand.

Their persecution of these churches (using the cowardly Lee as a stalking horse) has been that venomous. I think they have lost control of themselves.

The vandals now have illustrated the association of the gay movement with the Antichrist (and, oh yeah, vandalism).

Can the enemies of righteousness really be this stupid?

Tolerence, diversity, and inclusion at its ugly best.

The unholy trinity strikes again.

Just an update: The Washington Post reported today that vandals also hit The Falls Church, and that the spray painting appears to be identical.
