WINFIELD, AL (WBRC) - In most situations, a flier advertising a pastors' conference wouldn't cause much stir, but one event in West Alabama has the townspeople of Winfield upset.

The flier was discovered at Norris Music in downtown Winfield Monday advertising for a conference titled: "Annual Pastors Conference All White Christians Invited."

"It was put up throughout the town in the middle of the night. When everyone was asleep without the permission of the business owner." Norris Music manager Tyler Cantrell said.

According to the flier, the three-day conference ends with a "Sacred Christian Cross Lighting Ceremony." The conference is to be held in neighboring Lamar County.

Winfield Mayor Wayne Silas says he and other folks in town are not pleased since this event is not representative of their community in any way.

"Business people are upset. The city is upset. The city of Winfield does not condone this," Silas said.

"It's surprising to see something like that in our town," Cantrell said. "I know it's been here in the past."

The organizer of the event, Rev. William C. Collier says that his Church of God's Chosen (Christian Identity Ministries) is not a hate group but adds that he believes "the white race is God's chosen people."

Why did you leave this part out? Are you trying to make collier look unreasonable?

"We don't have the facilities to accommodate other people. We haven't got any invitations to black, Muslim events. Of course we are not invited to Jewish events and stuff," Collier said.

His explanation is irrelevant.

His explanation is irrelevant.

Why do you hate white people, Steven? White people brought you all sorts of lovely stuff.

"Sacred Christian Cross Lighting Ceremony."

Isn't that what the KKK do?

I think someone should take action, this is awful . I think the National Association for the "Advancement of Colored people ", should appeal to the Black congressional caucus, maybe get a boycott going with the support of the National Black Chamber of commerce. Then encourage the "historically black colleges to rise up in protest and join with the National Black Business council. I think the Association of Black psychologist should examine the impact this will have on the Black youth of today, and enlist the aid of the 100 black Men to help. Hopefully the national association of Black Journalists will cover the events, and the organization of Black Airline Pilots will refuse to fly there.

This kind of segregationist activity cannot be tolerated in today's color blind society

I saw a KKK sticker on a truck here in Mississippi. I'm not at all surprised by this, sadly .

Well at least he had the decency to advertise his ignorance. Otherwise we'd all be guessing.
