"People have been asking me what happens if it snows," said the Rev. Fred Small of the First Church Unitarian in Littleton. "I tell them: 'we walk.'"
The nine-day haul from downtown Northampton to Copley Square in Boston was planned far before forecasts called for a weekend of snow and sleet just a few days before the start of spring.
"It was windy and cold. I was walking on the front of the line and I felt like I was bow of a ship with the wind just coming into my face," said the Rev. Margaret Bullitt-Johns of the Grace Episcopal Church in Amherst, where the group warmed up on bowls of lentil and minestrone soup after walking eight miles in deep snow from Northampton to Amherst...
The Rev. Andrea Ayvazian of the Haydenville Congregational Church said the snow was so deep, it felt like she was breaking trail....
"God has given us this Eden, and our behavior is making a mess of it," said the Rev. Jim Antal, president of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ, the state's largest Protestant denomination...
With most of its members based in the Northeast, it made sense for the group to walk in Massachusetts. About 1,000 clergy members are expected to take some part in the trek, which will include prayer and information sessions along the way before ending with a rally on March 24...

Great marketing strategy. Pictures of idiots protesting global warming in a snowstorm.
Ski hills should hire them to show up, so they can extend their season.
Niether rain, nor sleet, nor snow shall keep the moonbats from their appointed rounds...
God has a sense of humor.
Those guys really proved something, didn't they?
Do these folks have an ounce of self introspection?
Maybe they'll realize what idiots they look like when they're at the hospital suffering from frostbite and the ER people want to know what they were doing out in the storm. "I was protesting global warming". ROTFLOL. Maybe the cold has numbed their brains.
Pardon me I have to giggle.
