American Church Witnesses Easter Trailer Fire Filled with Bibles
Authorities in a Tennessee community, United States, are investigating after a trailer full of Bibles was intentionally set alight in front of a church on Easter Sunday.
Officials have reported no injuries following the incident.
The Mount Juliet Police and Fire Departments swiftly responded to a trailer fire located at an intersection, blocking the entrance to the Global Vision Church around 6 a.m. on Sunday.
The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office also issued a statement indicating its belief that the fire was set intentionally. It remains unclear whether the fire was aimed specifically at the church.
“To maintain the integrity of the ongoing investigation, we are unable to provide further details at this time. Rest assured, we will share updates with the community as and when appropriate,” stated the sheriff’s office.
Meanwhile, the church’s pastor, Greg Locke, revealed in a statement on Facebook that the church’s security cameras captured a man allegedly leaving the trailer before setting it on fire.
“A lady had driven through the night to reach our church and was in the parking lot. She managed to quickly alert the police officers, presenting quite the scene to wake up to on my first morning back from Israel,” Pastor Locke wrote.
Hundreds have also shown their support for the church on social media, which proceeded with its Easter services uninterrupted.
