Vandals spray-paint graffiti on Christian school in Halifax

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you;... John 15:18-20

This is a minor incident, but there will be more to come. As reported by Meghan Groff of Halifax Today, October 9, 2018 (links in original):

Halifax Christian Academy was the target of anti-Christian graffiti over the weekend.

The head of the school, Shaun Alspach, believes it happened sometime Saturday night.

"Our facility is rented by a community church on Sunday and the pastor of that church texted me ... they had discovered it when they arrived Sunday morning."

"Stop the worship" was among the phrases spray-painted on the building.

Members of another church showed up to help cover up the graffiti before students arrived back at class Tuesday morning.

"We've been in this city 45 years now and it's certainly the first time we've seen a hate crime like this," Alspach said.

Over the weekend vandals also defaced several sites at Point Pleasant Park, including the Halifax naval memorial honouring thousands who died in the First and Second World Wars.

Multiple churches and cemeteries have been targeted this year, and last month racist graffiti was discovered in Dartmouth.

Alspach also knows of several instances that haven't become public.

"It's not acceptable what they've done but I think there's more of a sadness, not a huge sense of anger," he explained. "It's unfortunate that this can happen in our city."

Alspach said they've been in contact with Halifax Regional Police, who were on site late Tuesday morning.

It apparently doesn't occur to the reporter that the removal earlier this year of the statue of Edward Cornwallis, the city's founder--a cowardly response by the city council in response to half-truths and threats of violence from Indians--is a hate crime against white people.
