Going to church on Sunday can get your beaten or killed in some countries overseas. A number of parish priests have been slaughtered recently in Turkey for example.
But who ever would expect danger from church going in Bible belt Jackson, Mississippi where the faithful flock to church every Sunday to hear the Gospel of Christ?

Unitarians and Episcopalians? Something is fishy here. They're extremely liberal religious groups. Unitarians aren't really even adherents to Christ except in the belief that all religions are valid.
I don't know about MS, but around here, the UU church wouldn't be called Christian. They welcome all faiths, but don't restrict to one.
Well, first it's a bit of a stretch to call Unitarian Universalists 'Christians', seeing that the Unitarians always denied the central Christian understanding of God as the All-Holy Trinity, and the Universalists are blatantly sycretistic.
Second, it might even be a stretch to call the communicants of St. James Episcopal Church 'Christians'. It depends whether its one of the holdouts against the apostacy or one of the leaders (or one of the poor wretched Episcopalian parishes that depend on its diocese for support and has had a new-age feminist priestess foisted on it over the objections of its still-Christian vestry and laity).
Same with the Episcopalians in some places! I wouldn't call it anti-Christian. Maybe anti-nothing particular.
I can see the church's guys getting together and make sure if they try that again, the anarchists are going to be limping back to the rock they crawled out from. Also, Mississippi has much kinder gun laws then left states and cities these creeps were probably from.
All true. However, the anarchists are probably as ignorant of these facts as the press. If that is the case, it was probably meant as an attack on Christians.
I dare those anarchist scum to try something like that in TX or OH. Can you say "well armed congregations"? I knew you could...
My great Grandfather would be rolling in his grave. He was an Episcopal mininster and a conservative.
There's something else fishy about the story. The denunciations were issued by a pastor, not of either of the churches whose congregants were attacked, but whose presence in Jackson is associated with anti-abortion protests. Both of the denominations attacked are pro-abortion (and as I already pointed out not really Christian).
Here is part of what a article on wilpedia said on the author
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judi_McLeod
In 2005, McLeod and David Hawkins wrote a series of articles on what they described as the United Nations' "radical socialist agenda executed across Intranets and virtual private networks, operated by the self-styled 'Global Custodians'." They alleged links between "$40 trillion hedge funds, via an online portal on the 79th floor of One World Trade Center, to 'disruptive technologies' developed by Canada for alleged use in the UN Oil-for-Food scam, 9/11 and Kyoto fraud." [4]
McLeod and Hawkins allege that the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States may have been a Mafia plot and not the work of al-Qaeda terrorists. [5]
In August 2005, immediately after the crash of Air France Flight 358 at Toronto's Lester B. Pearson International Airport, McLeod published an article alleging that the crash was the result of a bomb. [6] A subsequent investigation showed that the crash was the result of poor weather conditions and pilot error.
McLeod lodged a formal complaint with the police accusing Toronto city councillor Betty Disero of being linked to the Mafia, and of holding a conflict of interest in her role as vice-chairman of the Toronto Harbour Commission due to a personal relationship. The police investigated and found no evidence of any wrongdoing. [7]
[edit]
Criticism
Conservative writer Kevin Michael Grace has described McLeod's writing as that of an "emotionally incontinent 9th grader," [8] while Toronto Star columnist Antonia Zerbisias describes her as "eccentric" and the Canada Free Press as a "whacko news site." [9]
Jack Layton and his wife Olivia Chow complained to the Ontario Press Council about McLeod's columns at the Toronto Sun. Both complaints were upheld. McLeod alleged that Layton and Chow were living in publicly subsidized housing in a co-op in the late 1980s, when the couple was actually paying market rates. [10]
Toronto Life magazine reported that McLeod was harassing city councillor Betty Disero. McLeod had been driving past Disero's home, taking pictures. [7]
McLeod published the home address and photograph of Cathy Crowe, cofounder of the Toronto Disaster Relief Committee, in the CFP along with what Crowe's lawyer deemed defamatory statements. The lawyer alleged that McLeod was encouraging her readers to harass and even physically attack Crowe. [11] The paper also published the home address of anti-poverty activist John Clarke along with a photograph of the house he was renting.
McLeod fell victim to a hoax in 2006 when she believed she had been exchanging emails with Hollywood actor Mel Gibson through a blog purportedly run by the actor, which she later discovered was a satirical website. [12]
I'm calling BS on the article, totally unbelievable.
Lightening sparks fire at Raymond church The Clarion-Ledger

MASKED MAURADERS ASSAULT OPERATION SAVE AMERICA EVANGELISTS
July 16, 2006 Jackson, Mississippi
A team of Operation Save America (OSA) evangelists and pro-life activists attempted to attend the Unitarian Universalist Church of Jackson this morning and were greeted by a phalanx of anarchists obstructing the entrance to the “church.”
Faces covered with scarves seen at WTO meetings, and holding six feet of PVC pipe to block access to the church drive way, the crowd of protestors with an anti Bush Administration organization “World Can’t Wait” erupted in to a violent attack on Adam Tennant’s Honda. The organization web site www.worldcantwait.net lists, Denver late term abortionist Warren Hern as well as well known author Gore Vidal as advisory board members.
Adam and his girlfriend Paige, from Kannopolis, North Carolina, had just driven into the church parking lot when the unruly mob piled on the car and began beating it with PVC pipe and bashing the windows with their fists.
Colorado Right to Life VP, Leslie Hanks ran to a squad car parked across the street and asked the individuals inside why they couldn’t do something to stop it. A gentleman who identified himself as an observer for Hinds County stated that it was private property and that no one had filed a complaint.
Peter Haik who claimed to be a local member of the church came to the OSA side of the street and stated that although he disagreed with their members, he supported their right to be there. OSA activists requested that he make that statement clear to the Jackson police officers. Mr. Haik told OSA that the anarchist team was not part of the church and that he supported their arrest. Nonetheless, nothing was done to the violent protestors standing with the National Organization of Woman (NOW,) in opposing the OSA presence in Jackson.
OSA street preachers faced clanging pots and pans and shouts of “turn the speakers off, as they tried to share the Word of God with the crowd.
Constitutional rights appeared to be on hold as the Jackson police department stated that because the anarchists wouldn’t cooperate and give names, nothing could be done to the individuals who had just perpetrated an assault, resulting in a smashed windshield and seriously dented car.
Operation Save America’s founder, Flip Benham asked the police to just do their jobs and noted, “We intend to continue storming the gates of hell and praying for the end of the wicked practice of abortion in Jackson until babies are safe in their mother’s wombs.”
To this point, no formal complaint has been filed, although Adam Tennant filled out a two page chronicle of how his car was attacked and damaged.
Pro-life stalwart, Ken Scott of Denver, requested that a police supervisor be called to weigh in on the matter of whether assaults are allowed on private property in Jackson, Mississippi.
Officer Jenkins stated that a supervisor would be called but none ever showed up to address the injustice.
The Word of God was preached over loudspeakers to the lost by Pastor James Kitchens, with Jackson’s The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Several post abortive women told their stories but were shouted down and mocked as they tried to share the truth of how abortion hurt them personally.
“World Can’t Wait” has a Day of Mass Resistance planned for October 5, 2006.

I blame right-wing extremists fueled by the fires of hateful talk radio. From what I read in the papers and see on CBS, these are the only violent criminals in America today.
MS cops must be more patient than OK cops. If you're wearing a mask and refuse to identify yourself you're going to get taken downtown with a few new bruises.
Good grief were this folks trying to disrupt a Church service. This all sounds too odd. I have never hear of anti abortion protestors trying to disrupt another churches service. And Anrachists in Jackson Mississippi. I so doubt this
