Yule Bathing Beauties Spark Controversial Christmas Pageant
Bellflower pastor Rev Bernard Brunsting, 30, blasted the Maas Mistletoen contest staged by the Bellflower Junior Chamber of Commerce as a serious offense to the church. He argued beauty displays clash with the sacred nativity, urging that the Christmas story remain a precious church possession. The junior chamber defended the event as a local decoration effort, while Brunsting vowed to continue speaking out on Sundays. His views gained mail support and followed a Bethlehem visit that underscored his stance on decency in Christmas celebrations.
