Church’s ‘Love’ Lost

An Ohio pastor said someone stole a banner from his church that proclaimed the congregation’s love of love. The Rev. Bruce Russell-Jayne of the Northern Hills Fellowship in Springfield Township said the banner, which read “Standing on the Side of Love,” was taken from outside the church late Saturday or early Sunday. The reverend said church members will likely try to raise $350 to replace the 3-week-old banner. He said the new banner will be kept inside the church. Police are investigating.
