(RNS) A suburban Texas church is helping a nearby mosque recover from the devastating snowstorms that hit last week.
First United Methodist Church of Denton, north of Dallas-Fort Worth, has started a GoFundMe campaign to help the Islamic Society of Denton pay for repairs needed in the wake of the disaster.
Not everyone in Texas is happy about it.
After video showing water pouring from burst pipes in the mosque’s ceiling went viral on social media, the church launched a GoFundMe campaign to fund repairs, which are expected to take weeks to complete. By Thursday (Feb. 25), nearly $55,000 out of a targeted $100,000 had been raised.
