Falling Cross Kills Boston Preacher

BOSTON (EAP) -- A cross of Jesus was responsible for the death of a Boston preacher yesterday when it came loose from a church wall and struck him dead on the head while he was giving a sermon to his congregation at The Holy Church of Mother Mary.

The statue became dislodged from the wall which was stressed due to local flooding and an unstable foundation. The cross fell down and struck Father Leonard Williams on the head, killing him instantly.

"We've had a lot of rain here lately, and our church foundation is shifting and falling apart," said Irene Davis, 15-year-member of the Holy church. "We decided to spend our collection money on the new Jesus cross last month instead of spending it on repairing the church wall and its foundation, and I think it was a big mistake," she said.
