Pastors Conference Fliers: All White Christians Invited
Alabama-- In the south a flier advertising a pastors' conference wouldn't cause much stir. However, in one southern town it's causing a fiery reaction.
The flier was discovered at Norris Music in downtown Winfield, Alabama on Monday. According to WBRC, the title of the conference stated: "Annual Pastors Conference All White Christians Invited."
According to the flier, the three-day conference ends with a "Sacred Christian Cross Lighting Ceremony." The conference is to be held in neighboring Lamar County.
Winfield Mayor Wayne Silas told the station that he and other folks in town are not pleased since this event is not representative of their community in any way.
"Business people are upset. The city is upset. The city of Winfield does not condone this," Silas said.
The organizer of the event, Rev. William C. Collier says that his Church of God's Chosen (Christian Identity Ministries) is not a hate group but adds that he believes "the white race is God's chosen people."
Collier defends why only white Christians are invited: "We don't have the facilities to accommodate other people. We haven't got any invitations to black, Muslim events. Of course we are not invited to Jewish events and stuff," Collier said.
The conference has met for three years in Lamar County and there has been no trouble in the past and supporters say they don't expect any over the next three days.
Churches from the Winfield community will hold their own Fourth of July celebration Wednesday evening where they say everyone is invited to enjoy fellowship, pray for the city and the region and to celebrate the nation's independence.

Absolutely and we are free to make blanket associations about all Christians
I assume no one here would have a problem with that

Wrong again. You cannot go into a private parking lot and put literature on someone's window....in NC, they'll arrest you for trespassing and littering.

Only a tiny speck fo Muslims are terrorist but when in doubt I like to go with the Cheney doctrine and if there is an even 1% chance they are a radical muslim I just like to assume it's 100%
