SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The Spokane Fire Department says a fire at a Mormon church was arson.
Assistant Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer says an accelerant of some sort was used to set fire Tuesday afternoon to a sign on the back of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on the city's north side.
Firefighters put out the flames before they reached the roof.
One church member, Ron Anderson, told The Spokesman-Review the brick building has been the target of vandalism in the past, including broken windows and graffiti.

@papi
you know what may help your sickness ? not jumping to erroneous assumptions about who and why this fire was set. your sickness is self induced.
Probably just some Romney haters or Mormon haters trying to destroy others people's freedom of Religion. People make me sick that do these kinds of things.
Sad to hear there was damage done. My husband is from that area. It could have been a lot worse.
