I was thinking the same thing. Where are the other Christians in this fight?
I live in Sacramento and this is the first I've heard about this. This group did it on its own, and didn't solicit any help from other churches.
But, I really think that the author screwed up with calling them "Slavic Christians" -- it is too general a term and as the article states, they are only about 1/3 of just the RUSSIAN community. They are virtually all Russian Baptists.
I belong to an Orthodox Christian Church across from a Russian Baptist Church in Fair Oaks. These people are -- for better or worse -- Bible literalist, "it's my way or the highway (to Hell)" people.
Yes, they are clean, hardworking decent people -- as long as your beliefs don't collide with theirs. Anything like a glass of wine, buying a lottery ticket or taking a spin around the dance floor, and you are in the same toilet as the homosexuals -- "an unrepentant sinner". It doesn't surprise me that they would be out there doing something like this.
While I would agree with them re protesting what is taught in school, I wouldn't be joining this group any time soon when it came to the rest. They make Southern Baptists look like "party animals".
