Attacks on Church Called Hate Crime
Stratford police are asking for the public's help after satanic symbols were found painted on a church yesterday, a few days after a fire there. Police said they consider the attack on St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church, at 115 Cambria St., a hate crime ... The church has been vandalized before -- broken windows and spray-painting -- but never to this degree, he said. "It's something that's graphic and disturbing to the parishioners of the church," he said.
