Thieves sneaked into the Martin Luther Church during a service and stole a 300-year-old Bible worth $7,366 and emptied a collection box,in Berlin ,Germany on Sunday.
The 150 people who were in the congregation discovered that burglars had broken into the church office and made off with the Bible and money donated to buy food for the poor.Pastor Dieter Spanknebel said in an appeal the church posted on its Web site:
“This Bible won’t be easy to sell. It would be smartest just to somehow bring it back to the church,”
