Fire broke out at the Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church in Greeleyville, South Carolina, yesterday and it took about 50 firefighters to put it out.
According to reports from CNN, authorities are yet to know what caused the fire at the traditionally black church. However, the FBI and five agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are already investigating to find out if it was intentionally done.
Meanwhile, the church's previous structure burned in 1995 as a result of hate-motivated arson during a spate of about 30 fires that swept black churches in Southern states at the time and members of the Ku Klux Klan were responsible for that attack.
Responding to the fire outbreak, Senior Bishop John Bryant of AME's national headquarters said this will not send the church into despair or depression.
