LAMAR COUNTY, Alabama -- A group that believes "the white race is God's chosen people" is hosting a three-day conference that will culminate with a "sacred Christian cross-lighting ceremony" Friday evening, WBRC-TV reports.

The Christian Identities Ministries conference, which will be held in Lamar County, has drawn concern from residents, including Winfield Mayor Wayne Silas, who has asked city employees to remove the group's fliers, ABC 33/40 reported.

The organizer of the event, Rev. William C. Collier, says that his church is not a hate group. The cross-lighting ceremony is "open to all white Christians," the group's flier states.

The Southern Poverty Law Center lists Christian Identity in its "Intelligence Files" as having a "unique anti-Semitic and racist theology."
