Ministers step into the fray over newspaper’s Spanish page - Warrenville, Illinios

Warrenville’s church leaders are taking a public stand against bigotry in response to published letters blasting a weekly newspaper’s decision to print a page in Spanish.

“We are concerned that persons living in Warrenville express hostility toward Spanish-speaking people living among us,” ministers of eight congregations wrote in an Oct. 25 letter to the Warrenville Today newspaper.

Their statement came in response to a debate that began in September, when Warrenville Today started printing a page in Spanish. The paper is mailed weekly to all homes and businesses in Warrenville — 6,000 copies in all.”*
