Inflammatory message
While driving up Maley Street this Saturday afternoon, my nine-year-old daughter noticed and read the marquee outside the 1st Baptist Church. The message on the marquee was an inflammatory pejorative statement directed at another church and its membership located in our community.
She was incredulous after my explanation of the message's content.
She could not understand how a church could make such a statement. Her comment to me was, "I have friends that go to that church. That is mean."
As a lifelong educator and long time resident of this community I am disheartened, to say the least, by the intolerance exhibited in such a prejudicial statement made publicly by a church congregation in Willcox.
