A Christian college in Oregon is standing up to radical protesters after they threatened to tear down a cross that has been on the campus for decades.
On Friday, students and staff at New Hope Christian College in Eugene stood guard and prayed for God to protect the cross. They said it’s a symbol of God’s unconditional love.
Antifa activists have claimed the structure is a symbol of racism because it had previously stood in an area where the KKK burned crosses in the 20s.
According to reports, a number of people from the community and police also came to defend the cross.
“So, we decided we’re going to pray, we’re going to praise, we’re going to pray for the protesters,” stated Pastor Wayne Cordeiro, President of New Hope Christian College. “And we heard a report that a bus load or two of protesters were coming down from Portland and the police turned them away, so we are very grateful for the cooperation of our law enforcement.”
