Fr Waller of the parish of Saint Saviour’s Walthamstow, woke up to discover his church notice boards vandalised and then received a threatening message left on his ansaphone warning him of violence if his Anglican church should opt for the Roman Catholic option.
This is truly despicable and cowardly behaviour. Shame on the perpetrator!
Please pray for Fr Waller and the parish of Saint Saviour’s Walthamstow, who woke up to discover church notice boards vandalised. Furthermore Fr David had a threatening message left on his ansaphone- warning him of violence if his church should opt for the Roman option. Clearly this is criminal behaviour and a matter for the police- but what sort of person stoops to this level in order to hurt another? We should pray for this person as they are clearly lost and full of hatred.
This is the sort of sectarian nastiness one might have (sadly) expected at the height of troubles in N. Ireland but within the Diocese of Chelmsford? It comes as a stark warning to everyone -be careful what emotions you sow! Regardless of our theological views and differences we must work together in love, showing the world how we Christians can handle difference with generosity and integrity.
