	Pie Thrower Targets Pastor Associated Press, carried in Rocky Mountain News May 7, 2007 http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_5524176,00.html Colorado Springs - A service at a breakaway Episcopal parish was disrupted Sunday when a man threw a pie at the pastor, police said. Marcus Hyde, who was arrested in the incident, faces potential misdemeanor charges, a police report said. Witnesses told police a man entered a side door of Grace Church and St. Stephen's Parish during a Sunday service and tossed the pie at the Rev. Donald Armstrong III. Parishioners chased the suspect and were holding him in front of the church when officers arrived, police said. The suspect said he was passing judgment on Armstrong for his fellow parishioners, according to a police report. The Episcopal Diocese of Colorado late last year moved to suspend Armstrong while it investigated allegations of financial misconduct. Armstrong has denied wrongdoing. He returned to Grace Church in March, when church leaders voted to leave the Episcopal Church. The vestry said they were upset over the national church's liberal theological direction.
