A sad sight from my hometown appeared this morning when a sign outside the United Church of Christ proclaiming that "all are welcome" was vandalized. This is the fourth time that the church has been a target. At the bottom right of the sign is a small symbol of a rainbow, indicating that the church is inclusive of the LGBT community.
It is disheartening that a church willing to accept a group that many others shun is being threatened by these vandals. Thankfully, the church is not backing down, and is instead installing security cameras to ensure that repeat vandalization does not occur.
