From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A pastor and his wife have been charged with arson in a fire that gutted their church in Summerville, authorities said.
The arrests of the Rev. Harold Hunter and Patricia Hunter came one day after the pastor gave a sermon in which he said he prayed for the “sick, sadistic” person who set fire to the church. No one was hurt in the blaze.
Police declined to discuss a possible motive.
