"The anti-abortion activist father of a pair wanna-be reality TV stars disrupted the services of a Unitarian church Sunday while the congregation was honoring a member who had died.

Members of Flip Benham’s Operation Save America group delivered an impromptu sermon while the congregation at First Unitarian Universalist Church of New Orleans was observing a moment of silence.

“Into that sacred silence, a voice began to speak, and it began to speak about ‘abominations,’” said Rev. Deanna Vandiver, adding that the protesters shouted that their church was not a true faith. “Literally in our most tender and vulnerable space, religious terrorism began.” (my boldface)

Operation Save America, which grew out of the Operation Rescue movement tied to the assassination of Dr. George Tiller, described the church as a “synagogue of Satan” for its longstanding support of reproductive rights."

I am a UU, and this has left me almost speechless. Religious terrorism is an appropriate description of what went on. Is this what the future holds for religious groups in America?
