Fire that gutted church ruled arson; motive sought

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a fire that gutted an eastern Pennsylvania church was deliberately set, but the motive for the arson is still under investigation.
Bethlehem police say the blaze at Iglesia Pentecostal de Bethlehem was reported shortly after midnight Monday.
Captain Ben Hackett says someone apparently “entered the sanctuary area of the church and started the fire.” Officials said the blaze burned out before first responders arrived. No one was injured.
