The East Haven Police on Wednesday released a video of the Pastor confronting officers and trying to block them from taking an accused violent offender, who hid inside the church, back to police headquarters for processing.
Police said the Pastor was "extremely irate" that police officers entered her church to search for a violent fugitive who had just attacked his mother repeatedly with a telephone in their home Tuesday. The Pastor physically attempted to stop police officers from leaving with the accused including jumping in front of the police car, police said. The Pastor demanded that police release the accused to her.

Within minutes of the video being up on social media Wednesday, hundreds had watched the video - and by a vast majority those watching it found nothing wrong with the action taken by the police.
By Thursday morning there were more than 1,000 comments on the video on the East Haven police department's Facebook page - nearly all in support of the actions taken by the cops.

I assume that UCC stands for United Church of Christ...a denomination that,to the best of my understanding,went atheist quite some time ago.
Refuge in a church isn’t going to work anymore.
I regularly walk past the front door of the Boston University School of Divinity and every time I do I think to myself "ah,yes...a divinity school where the final exam requires the student to list 10 facts that prove that God doesn't exist."
Correct. I was an adult leader on a high school youth mission trip a few years ago and we shared our site with a UCC church from Boston. My impression: A gay party club with no knowledge of the Bible.
This being Connecticut ... my wife grew up in the UCC and is a regular parishioner. I am an irregular, pretty much Christmas & Easter guy. We had a great pastor who moved. The temporary pastor was a gay man, and so is the new full-time pastor. Our Democrat congresswoman is a member. That said, there are some conservatives in the mix that I sit with at the occasional pot lucks. We recognize our spot behind enemy lines and do have some laughs. One of the founding pastors honored on the plaque at the back wall of the sanctuary is an ancestral cousin. Him spinning in the grave is probably what keeps the lights on.
About 30 years ago, the high school youth group from my church had a joint retreat with a UCC church. I got a similar impression.

What’s scarier is that some folks actually sit in her church and listen to her - as a act of “worship”...
