From Philadelphia-
POLICE are investigating a break-in and theft of nearly a dozen religious objects from an Episcopal church in Point Breeze.
Sometime between 2:30 p.m. Sunday and 6 a.m. yesterday, someone broke into the 22nd Street entrance to St. Simon the Cyrenian Church, at 22nd and Reed streets, police said.
A church caretaker reported that 11 bronze items were missing, including crosses, candleholders and collection plates, police said. No estimate of the value of the stolen items was given.
Church officer Helen Johnston said that $200 cash was also stolen from a second-floor office, along with the church's water meter and food from the kitchen.
Johnston said that she didn't know how the church would be able to replace the stolen items, especially the crosses that she carries to the altar during Sunday services. She said that her church would contact other Episcopal churches in the area to ask about borrowing their crosses.
