Peace Burning Bush, Holy Smokes



In 1990 we landscaped Peace Lutheran Church in Fremont, IN they had just finished a large addition. On the east side of the church there is a large, contemporary, aluminum cross which is raised off the building and back lit with neon. The brown cross is also the home of a sparrow nest. Apparently the nesting activity disrupted one of the wire connections causing a short and a spark. The spark dropped down from the cross to the leaves which were built up behind the existing yews. The result, burning bushes and melting siding. This was the Easter Sunday greeting for those attending church. Another good reason to clean leaf debris from around shrubs.
No direct heavenly contact was reported but there was much speculation.
