The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) strongly condemned the torching early Wednesday of a church in central Jerusalem. The church formerly belonged to the Baptist community, but is now shared by several congregations including Russian Christians and some messianic Jews. The Anti-Defamation League strongly condemned this arson and apparent hate crime. 'We urged authorities to do everything in their power to protect all religious sites and see that the perpetrators of the crime are brought to justice.'
