There are a number of Doctors in Midland of middle eastern orgin and numerous small business owner/operators in the mall. There is not a mosque in Midland; however, there is an Unitarian Church; and it has a fairly new building.
What is important, is the strength to 'stand up' for one's beliefs; as demonstrated by the leaving members of the congregation. In this day and age of tolerance being 'force fed' to the nation, it is getting rare that 'stands' are taken. Praise God.
Yes, a congregation that actually stands for something. Impressive. Rare.
