Church Fights Neighbors, Doesn’t Reach Out

This story disgusts me:

A Mid South church is ready for a fight. They said they cannot keep a minister all because the area around their church is a mess. Members of Antioch Baptist had to put a fence up to hide what is on the other side.

“I can see the home behind me is unsightly, but I guarantee it will be cleaned up in the next day or so,” property owner David Boswell said.

Boswell is having to defend himself after accusations that his trailer park is an eyesore. “Not breaking any laws. Not trying to hide anything,” Boswell said.

Munford mayor Dwayne Cole said Boswell is complying with the city’s requests to clean up the property. Boswell said he is trying to find out exactly what church members want him to do. “I tried to talk to them last night about what they wanted and got no answer from them,” Boswell said.

Why doesn’t the church get out there and help clean the neighborhood themselves?
