Dozens of police break up brawl at NC church

What kind of example are these “good” Christians providing for their children; having fist fights like a bunch of degenerates, and in a place of worship no less?

As I’ve stated many times before, there’s nothing like religion to get people all riled-up – fools that they are. TGO

FLETCHER, N.C. – Authorities say a dispute over leadership at a church in western North Carolina turned from angry words to fist fights.

About 30 police officers from five agencies were called to break up fights Sunday at Greater New Zion Baptist Church in Fletcher, about 94 miles west of Charlotte.

Henderson County Sheriff’s Capt. Jerry Rice says the brawl is under investigation and no one appears to have been seriously hurt.

Rice says there were about 75 people at the church when police arrived, but not all of them were scuffling.

Church members are divided over the recent ouster of the Rev. LeVonia Ray as pastor of the church. The fighting apparently began over whether a vote should be held to reinstate him.

No charges have been filed.
