From FAITHWIRE:
The small figure was discovered outside in a gazebo at the Community of Faith Church in Houston, Texas, with congregants coming together to pray — and destroy the figurine with a blazing fire.
“It’s disheartening,” Bishop James Dixon told KHOU-TV. “It is sad to think that people would do something like that.”
The faith leader continued, “It’s a statue that announces curses … the curse of death … the Grim Reaper with the sickle.”
