With almost daily news of arson attacks against churches in France and elsewhere, anti Christian thugs still find new ways to shock the world with their actions.
Last night, the historic All Saints Church at Mackworth was set on fire in an arson attack by a teenager. The police have refused to release any other description of the attacker.
All Saints Church was built in the 14th Century before being taken over by Protestants afterwards, who maintained control of it until today, though it has been the site of a church since at least the 11th century.
These sorts of events are becoming increasingly common and the churches that are being attacked are becoming increasingly precious. We mustn’t lose sight of the fact that they are not the only people destroying our churches, in England for example, those turning historic churches into crazy golf centres are just as iconoclastic as those setting them on fire.
