"The hate and violence shown on our lawn has no place in the kind of world that Jesus imagined and God created," United Parish said in a Facebook post. "We at the United Parish in Brookline believe that all people are made in the image of God and embrace and cherish every person and every kind of family."
The flag was found burned and destroyed on Thursday, Aug. 25, the parish said. The incident has since been reported to Brookline Police who continue to investigate. In the wake of the event, United Parish is reminding parishioners about their inclusive nature.
"Jesus Christ welcomed everyone; we seek to follow his example in our own life and worship, by extending God’s love and grace abundantly and equally to everyone," they continued. "No act of vandalism will deter us from expressing Christ’s love as fully as possible in order to overcome this kind of hatred."
