Vandalism at a Virginia church hasn't dampened the community spirit.

The 200th anniversary of Lurgan Parish Church was celebrated on Sunday, with spray-painted messages being discovered on the church walls the following day.

The church was targeted a number weeks ago, and it's believed this latest incident was retaliation for the first graffiti being removed.

Venerable Canon Craig McAuley is ruling out a sectarian act, saying it was more likely a "moment of mindlessness".

He says the community has come together and won't be put off by those responsible.
