(WCCO) St. Paul Police are investigating a cross burning in front of a St. Paul church that has a largely black congregation.

Officer Pete Crum says a witness reported seeing three teenagers running from the Liberty Temple Church of God and Christ about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. The wooden cross was charred near the top and still burning at its base when police arrived.

Crum said the cross burning is being investigated as a hate crime.

"This strengthens us as a congregation," said Pastor Thomas Mite. "We will stand united ... keep doing what we're doing. We're here for the community and going to stay here."

Fundraising wedge issues that keep our eyes off what REALLY matters.
