Reverend Ralph Terry replaces the stolen banner. Picture: Marcelo Palacios www.communitypix.com.au Buy this photoTHE virtue of persistence has been sorely tested at the Gosnells Baptist Church after three banners that were used in a recent religious campaign were stolen from the church.
The church had been taking part in a national Jesus, all about life campaign organised by the Bible Society of Australia.
Almost 2000 churches from all denominations throughout Australia took part in a bid to raise awareness of Jesus.
Gosnells Reverend Ralph Terry said several churches throughout the metropolitan area had had their banners stolen.
Gosnells topped the list with three banners stolen by a “mystery thief” during October.
Undaunted, the church commissioned a fourth banner which read: “Even if you steal this sign, yet again, we still love you and Jesus is still all about Life”.
The sense of humour was not confined to Gosnells, with a Mandurah church also coming up with a cheeky message after several banners were stolen.
It read: “OK, Jesus is hanging with thieves again.”
