It’s believed that the act was intentional and done overnight.

“As a faith community which is committed to living out the love of Christ in real and practical ways in our community, we will not be discouraged or distracted from the message of inclusion, acceptance, and affirmation we make through flying this flag,” says the church in a Facebook post.

The Ladner United Church says that they’ll be reporting this incident to the Delta Police Department and that the flag will be replaced shortly.
