Middle Tennessee authorities are on the lookout for a large four-door truck possibly linked to a fire earlier this year that resulted in a significant number of Bibles being burned inside a utility trailer near Pastor Greg Locke’s church.
Surveillance footage provided by the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office shows a truck fleeing the area around the time of the fire.
The incident occurred in front of the Global Vision Bible Church on Easter Sunday. Police responded to the scene at about 6:30 a.m., prior to the day’s church service. No arrests have been made in connection with the case.
Pastor Locke addressed the congregation regarding the incident during Global Vision’s Easter service, estimating that about 200 Bibles were destroyed. No injuries were reported, and the Easter service proceeded as planned.
Authorities are treating the fire as an intentional act and are continuing their investigation.
Global Vision Bible Church has previously organized burning events involving materials deemed connected to witchcraft and the occult. Locke believes that the fire targeting the Bibles was directed specifically at the church.
During the Easter Sunday service, Locke condemned the burning of the Bibles as evidence of Christianity being “under attack” in the United States.
Cash rewards are being considered for any information leading to the apprehension of those responsible for the incident.
