This weekend the unrest in Minnesota breached the sanctity of the church walls. I found an interesting tidbit in the reporting by Brandon Porter at Religion Unplugged,
"ST. PAUL, Minn. — An anti-ICE protest disrupted the morning worship service at Cities Church Sunday morning.
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon livestreamed a portion of the event from inside the church building on YouTube.
Protestors could be heard chanting, 'Hands up, don’t shoot' and 'ICE out' throughout the video. According to Lemon, the protestors interrupted the opening prayer of the Sunday worship service."
Was the plan for the stunt leaked to sympathetic media types like Don Lemon and perhaps others so that it could be videoed and broadcast?
Lemon denies having known about it before hand but still should have done something to stop it once he figured it out such as notifying the police.
Did he even try?
Imagine what would happen if people decided to conduct a protest inside a mosque during prayer because there was an imam there who offended them.
Just imagine.
Do you think Don Lemon would be present livestreaming that?
What if the congregation of that church marched down the street and into an abortion center and led a protest?
They would be put in jail for invading the church of the holy zeitgeist.
