Church writes letters to those who received hate mail
After several Acworth residents receive racist hate mail, a local church is writing love mail to them.
ACWORTH, Ga - An Acworth church is showing support to more than a dozen people who received threatening letters. Monday night, some people in the Abernathy Farm subdivision found letters in their mailbox that said "We want this neighborhood just for white people. Out Hispanics. Out Blacks. Out Asians".
Cedarcrest Church is a little more than two miles away from that subdivision. Pastor Van Vandegriff said he had been doing a series of sermons on racial unity. He said when he heard about the letters his heart shattered.
