An Episcopal church of Washington has been vandalized with a racist message, Diocesan officials said. The racist message written in a heavily Latino suburb mentions President-elect Donald Trump.

A spokesman for Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, Jim Naughton, said the vandalism occurred Saturday night at the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour in Silver Spring, Maryland.

The banner advertising the Spanish-language service of the Church was slashed, and the words "Trump Nation. Whites Only" were written on the back, he said.

"We have just concluded our worship services in a church that has been desecrated by violence," Bishop Mariann Budde said.

"I would call especially upon the president-elect and those who voted for him to separate themselves from acts of violence and hate that are being perpetrated in his name," Budde said.

"We need to love those who hate, because love is stronger than hate," she said.
