According to the authorities, in the late evening on Friday night, fire crews responded to Wasilla Bible Church. The fire resulted in about a million dollars worth of damage. The building is salvagable, and it is a big kudos to the volunteer fire departments who responded.
Why is this signifigant? This is the church Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and her family are members of.
This was the statement released from the Palinistas.
Here is the link to the local article. They are releasing few details at this point, because a criminal investigation is under way.

Personally, while I disagree with Palin on some key issues, this is a tragic event to say the least, and I condemn it in the strongest words and thoughts possible. I am sure they will catch the idiot who did it, and they will probably go to prison for 5 counts of attempted murder, as the building was occupied at the time.
If you would like to comment, please be respectful. Nobody deserved to have thier church burned in this manner.

Palin's office issued this statement today:
"Gov. Palin stopped by the church this morning, and she told an assistant pastor that she apologizes if the incident is in any way connected to the undeserved negative attention the church has received since she became a vice presidential candidate on Aug. 29. Whatever the motives of the arsonist, the governor has faith in the scriptural passage that what was intended for evil will in some way be used for good."
