Newspapers MemKNOXVILLE, Tenn. bers of Inner City Church, which was destroyed just 10 days earlier by a firebomb, paced back and forth across their makeshift sanctuary inside a high school auditorium, shaking, rocking and talking Knight-Ridd- incoherently in speaking tongues. Members of the church, where pro football defensive giant Reggie White is an associate pastor, had driven or walked through the fog Wednesday night to pray together, to share one another's strength and to let everyone know that they were pressing on. Within a half-hou- r, they were swept up in a fervor of redemptive suffering, they were hollering, and the room was rocking. They had good reason to shout. Earlier in the service, Pastor David Upton announced that residents and businesses in Wisconsin, where their most famous associate pastor now plays for the Green Bay Packers, had contributed more than $100,000 to help rebuild. In addition, other donors, most from . '. out of state, had mailed or promised $20,000 to a Knoxville fund, he said. "The response has been just overwhelming," Upton said before the service began and he announced the figures. "We're getting mail and donations from all over the country. A lot of it came from the state of Wisconsin. : "Today, I met with the mayor, and he wants to know what the city can do to help our church." ' Upton said that the church and its contents destroyed in a blast, d and fire, the ruined walls were with racial slurs insured for $529,000, but that it would cost about $1 million to rebuild. Upton said he had spoken several times since the fire with White, an executive board member who is expected to return to his home in Knoxville after the Pro Bowl in February. : Inner City Church, with a bira-cimembership of about 400, was destroyed in the early morning hours of Jan. 8.
