I wouldn’t go that far but I do hope they solve the problem before they start rebuilding it. It’s no use rebuilding if it will be burned again. Thank goodness the arsonist(s) attacked while no one was there. Someone knows the congregation enough, I suppose, to know that while the building has security lights inside, it doesn’t have a fulltime presence in the building.
But the buildings are designed to host multiple congregations in each one so doubling up won’t be much of a problem Our city once had five separate congregations sharing the same building, about the same design and size as the one here that burned, for about eighteen months as construction was going on. It was challenging but possible.
Well, if they do like other LDS Church arson fires, they will rebuild, and rethink security... in that order.
This isn’t the first time, or the last.
