Anti-abortion protesters arrested at Tiller’s church
The following is a post from an anti-abortion group, who is apparently not happy about this.

Wednesday, 18 July 2007

In case you missed it over the weekend, two anti-abortion protesters were arrested at Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, where abortion provider George Tiller is a member.

Operation Rescue, a Wichita-based anti-abortion group, gave this account of what happened on its Web site:

Ordained minister Henry “Bud” Shaver was arrested with another man after reading from Isaiah 1 during a church service at Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, where late-term abortionist George R. Tiller is a member.

During the communion service Rev. Shaver stood at a microphone and read a portion of Isaiah’s warning to believers from a scrap of paper. Members of the church tried unsuccessfully to shut off the microphone and grab the Scripture from his hand. Men then forcibly carried Rev. Shaver from the church.

Pastor Thomas Halstrom gave Rev. Shaver’s associate, Joey Cox the communion bread saying, “Receive the body of Christ.” Cox gave the bread back to Halstrom saying that this was not the body of Christ but it represented the bodies of babies killed by abortionist George Tiller.

1. I'm glad George Tiller has found a church that welcomes him
and appears to have their heads screwed on right. Bud Shaver sounds like a complete and total nut-case. I hope this puts him away before he can do something that really hurts someone.
