Imprisonment of the church officials that organized the burning another.
Now for the freedom of speech thing.
You seem to think that freedom of speech is unlimited. It is not. One can not yell fire in a crowded theater, nor can they incite a riot.
BTW, SCOTUS has already affirmed that laws prohibiting burning a cross as I have described do not violate free speech. Your question does not apply, because burning a cross, according to SCOTUS, is not protected speech.
Understanding the law is important to these sort of discussions.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/high-court-upholds-cross-burning-ban/"A burning cross is an instrument of terror, and government should have the power to stamp out or punish its use, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote."
In other word, actions that are "of terror" can be prohibited. I do not think churches should be exempt.
