Fire heavily damages church in Roswell

By The Associated Press
ROSWELL - Authorities are searching for the cause of a fire that heavily damaged a church in Roswell, just north of Atlanta. <br /> <br /> Firefighters responded to the blaze at the Epiphany Byzantine Catholic Church on Old Alabama Road around 2 a.m. Sunday. They said that parts of the church, and parts of the woods surrounding the building, were in flames when firefighters arrived. <br /> <br /> Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were at the scene investigating over the weekend. <br /> <br /> Roswell police spokeswoman Lisa Holland said a man was taken into custody near the scene and charged with disorderly conduct, an allegation unrelated to the cause of the fire. <br /> <br /> Father Philip Scott lives on the church property and he told Atlanta media he saw the man running around the church totally nude around 1:30 Sunday morning.<br /> <br /> <i>Georgia News Network contributed to this story.</i>
