“Vandalism as conversation starter”
Imagine awaking some morning to find the side of your church building spray-painted with graffiti? What would be your first reaction? Anger? Dismay? A desire to see the vandals arrested and punished? Elizabeth Drescher, writing for Religion Dispatches tells what the pastor and wardens of Grace Episcopal Church in the small town of Randolph, New York, decided to do when confronted with this situation. They responded to the graffiti with a message of their own— but not displayed on a signboard out front. See what they did instead. (You can also read more about it on the church’s Facebook page.) The church’s motto is “Live, Serve, Praise Christ through Grace.”
