Such acts of destruction and disrespect are completely unacceptable and go against American values. The right to worship freely is a fundamental aspect of American life, and we stand with those who have had their places of worship targeted by vandals.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, the vandalism of churches is not only an attack on the religious community, but it is also an attack on the fabric of our society. Places of worship serve as important hubs for community and fellowship, and the destruction of these spaces has a ripple effect on the people who rely on them for support and guidance. It is my hope that those responsible for these hateful acts are brought to justice and that our community can continue to live in peace and harmony.<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Church2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9025\" src=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Church2-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Church2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Church2-272x340.jpg 272w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Church2-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Church2-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Church2-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Church2.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Photos by: Amy Reichert<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 31st, less than 24 hours before City View Assemblies of God church in Mission Valley hosted a \u201cLet Us Worship\u201d event with Sean Feucht, church staff found a saddening discovery: their church campus had been vandalized, including broken glass and multiple graffiti tags of slogans stating \u201cQueers Bash Back,\u201d \u201cBigots Not Welcome,\u201d and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9026,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.5 -
