CANTON, N.C. (October 13, 2009)—The Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, N.C. will celebrate Halloween by burning Bibles that aren’t the King James Version, as well as music and books and anything else Pastor Marc Grizzard says is a satanic influence.
Among the authors whose books Grizzard plans to burn are well known ministers Rick Warren and Billy Graham because he says they have occasionally used Bibles other than the King James Version, which is the sole biblical source he considers infallible.
According to the church’s Web site, members will also burn “Satan's music such as country, rap, rock, pop, heavy metal, western, soft and easy, southern gospel, contemporary Christian, jazz, soul (and) oldies.
This except came from the Salt Lake City newspaper which quoted the AP as its source along with the church's website. USA Today also reported that this church is, in fact, conducting the bonfire.
The Church's website is now shut down. When I tried to access it, I got a malware intrusion attempt, for what that is worth. However, this story showed up on other news sites too, so I think it's trustworthy.
Sad.
Peace,
