A church in Edmonds stood up to hate after being the target of violent flyers in reaction to its “Stand For Love” vigil.
After the 10:30 a.m. service on Sunday, April, 16, some Edmonds United Methodist congregation members were met with vile flyers on their windshields. The flyers were filled with threats and homophobic rhetoric. Edmonds United Methodist Church leaders said they believe their accepting and inclusive messages are why they were targeted.
At least one home in the area also received a flyer. Pastor Ann relayed that police have seen doorbell footage from that home, with footage of the person they believe put the flyers up. KIRO 7 has called the Edmonds Police Department to obtain the footage but hasn’t heard back.“I was initially really disturbed and sad,"said Pastor Ann. “I think it’s really easy in a moment like this to turn inward and say we should be fearful.
“Our community members who are within the LGBTQIA+ community, I deeply as one of the pastors of this church want them to know we are with them,” said Pastor Ann.
