Alabama Mayor on Whites-Only Christian Event: ‘The City Is Upset’

Understandable, but maybe a better strategy is to ignore it rather than publicize it.

A whites-only pastors’ conference in Alabama concluded Friday with a disturbing ceremony – the burning of a cross, or what organizers prefer to call the “Sacred Christian Cross Lighting Ceremony.”

Local residents, the NAACP, and national media outlets have quickly denounced the annual event as racist and drew a connection between the lighting of the cross and the notorious white supremacy group Ku Klux Klan’s tradition of cross burnings.

Earlier this week, a flier promoting the three-day event was found in Winfield, Ala., which upset the city’s mayor.
