Doesn't freedom of religion trump simple dislike for the church or some of
it's members?  If there are irregularities with how they were granted
permits or something, then that should be looked into.  But why disturb
their festival?  What is their political and economic agendas that these
activists are protesting?  

Granted, people have a right to protest as long as they keep it civil and
follow the law.  It's just that I have never understood why people are so
opposed to them.  Most of the objections I've heard have to do with zoning
laws and permits for the NSA school.  That sounds like a problem with the
authorities and not Christ Church.  There are lots of comments about their
theology (Southern slavery, odd ideas about how they think a "biblical"
society would work, etc), but so what?  They have every right to believe as
they wish, whether or not I think the lot of them have been standing too
long in the hot sun with no hat.

I don't agree theologically with them at all.  But who am I to try to tell
them they can't expand themselves?

I have great respect for you all as community leaders, I just think you
going too far sometimes.

A group of local activists invite the community to join their demonstration

and the church's Trinity Festival, announced spokesperson Selena Rosewater. 

 

The group will meet in Friendship Square in downtown Moscow at 7:30pm on
