GRAND RAPIDS -- Leaders at Fountain Street Church were at a loss for words Sunday after custodial staff arrived to find piles of feces outside each of the building's doors, accompanied by conservative Christian booklets and fliers.

Guess we better watch out for potential retaliation from the Christian community.

“Already, Cockrum said, a “peace pole” outside the church at 24 Fountain St. NE has been uprooted several times and thrown into the road. The striped pole has a rainbow of colors, including black and white, to represent its support of diversity”.

...Grand Rapids, MI. Sounds like the Amish are getting into the homemade mash again.~sarc.

I would be careful what assumptions we make. This church does not sound Christian.

I cannot believe this. More than halfway down the article I find this is a gay Church and their rainbow flag has been stolen. Obama really will be getting right on this.

But overall I hope you get my point.

Is this their strategy, “Black Church Burnings”? I thought billy wore that one out. I guess Rahm is putting out these stories to minimize the electorial damage by inciting colored folks to come out and vote. I am sure Mr. Skittles will have something to say about this if the media runs with it. Oh yeah, this might just be our media trying to shape the electorial ground again. Who knows?

They are not a mosque, so this is allowable.

They probably had a party and someone forgot to clean up. This is a church that isn’t offended by feces.

More info here:

This church had a “diversity pole” and was perceived to be pro-abortion.

Things aren’t always what they seem to be.

Fountain Street Church is marginally christian, at best. The lower-case “c” is intentional.

I can’t imagine a real Christian church protesting / vandalizing this pseudo-church in this way. I’m thinking false flag operation. Or inside job.

It isn’t.

It’s known here as the “liberal church”, and is frequently used as a venue for people like Michael Moore to speak, and once hosted our former mayor’s tirade about how W. was a war criminal.

It’s a place to go play pretend Christian.

It’s also one of the most beautiful buildings in GR.

This looks like nothing but a plant job. Better go question some of the area’s homeless and college kids.

No, no, no! Their rainbow POLE...their “peace pole” was removed several times. They think it is because they give girls money for abortions...well that could be ONE reason.

Don’t be so sure. I remember a gay activist in the 80s named Ronald Rump. (Not a nomme-de-guerre, either.)

What a relief.

I was afraid it happened to a mosque.

Ahhhhhhhhh, I think you were fooled back then too! I would bet 4 bits that it was a fake name.

Although, I did personally know Harry and Ima Butts...

A telephone line offers women struggling with an unexpected pregnancy the financial support to take steps in handling it

In other words a church that pays for abortions. Wonder what "religion" they think they belong to?

check out website fountainstreet.org and look under service tab. Social justice is in the first sentence.

I would say there’s at least a 50-50 chance they did it themselves for publicity. Using “conservative” flyers to trash the place seems to me to be a giveaway.

Does anyone seriously doubt that the perp is affiliated with the church and that the vandalism is a hoax to gain publicity?

“What in the world is a “gay church?””

Well, back in my day, it was a place happy people gathered on Sunday to worship the Lord.

It was in the caption of a photo in the Washington Blade, as I recall. Mr. Rump was part of the staff of some AIDS center or something, who had just received a grant or something like that. That’s why I don’t think it was a hoax.

Remember Luke Sissyfag?
