Having spent 12 years as a Quaker (including earning a Master's degree from a Quaker seminary and studying Quaker history in depth) this is something that warms the cockles of my heart, because it's very much like something that the early Quakers used to do: confront hypocrisy in the Church (and in the justice system, and in the government), in a non-violent but disruptive manner... - DC
"Protesters disrupted church service at [fundamentalist evangelical] Cities Church in Saint Paul this morning where one of the pastors, David Easterwood, is the acting director of the St. Paul Field Office for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Their demands were clear, justice for Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, and for the pastor to use his authority to get ICE out of Minnesota.
Protesters said the objective of disrupting service was to inform the congregation of what they described as their pastor’s double-mindedness when it comes to the word of God and not loving thy neighbor with his work as a field director for ICE. The Pastor in the pulpit is Jonathan Parnell. David Easterwood was either absent or left when the protest started."
