A PRIEST whose 108-year-old church was burnt down by a teenage fan of heavy metal anti-Christian music yesterday said he wanted to offer his support to the arsonist, who has been sentenced to three years in a youth training centre.
The Reverend Ron Rosinsky woke up minutes before the Ascot Vale Uniting Church in Moonee Ponds collapsed on August 29 last year. From his nearby home he watched the flames destroy the $3 million building, historical records and irreplaceable musical instruments.
"I came onto the street, I was feeling devastated, shocked and anxious," Mr Rosinsky said.
When he found out the arsonist had been influenced by Burzam, a Scandinavian "black metal" band notorious for its anti-Christian message, he said he became even more anxious. "I looked up their website which straight out advocates burning churches down, attacking ministers and their homes," he said.
Novak Majstorovic, 19, of St Albans, admitted burning the church but initially would not apologise to parishioners because he thought remorse was a sign of weakness. But early this month, Majstorovic said he was sorry. "But our plan is to offer our support and friendship to him," Mr Rosinsky said. He said three years in a youth training centre was fair and focused on his rehabilitation.

Judge Jeanette Morrish, in sentencing, said Majstorovic was the sole carer of his mother, who suffers from schizophrenia.
The court heard that Majstorovic, who pleaded guilty to arson and burglary, had agreed to undergo counselling while in the centre.
Church members now travel to St Paul's Anglican Church in Ascot Vale. There is a "lingering sadness" among them, says Mr Rosinsky. He told The Age the century-old church would not be rebuilt, but would be replaced with a community garden or a parca.
