April 13, 2019 In a ten-day span, authorities say an arsonist attacked St. Mary Baptist Church, the Greater Union Baptist Church and Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. Police have arrested one suspect.
"In speaking with these pastors I am in awe and inspired by their faith and courage, comforting their congregations and family members," Watson
told The New Orleans Advocate via text message. "Through sadness and shock they spoke of forgiveness for the arsonist and grace for tomorrow. Most importantly they spoke of being overwhelmed by support from people of goodwill and all religions from around the country. And they were humbled by what God has already done through this series of events."
