Interfaith group shields churchgoers from protesters on Easter in Tulsa

POSTED 8:02 PM, MARCH 28, 2016, BY NADIA JUDITH ENCHASSI, UPDATED AT 08:11PM, MARCH 28, 2016

TULSA, Okla. – “Love is all you need.”

The famous Beatles’ tune was sung by an interfaith group near the doors of a church that was targeted on Easter in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

According to Facebook posts now going viral, the Fellowship Congregational Church UCC is “receiving nasty threats from close-minded and hateful people” and being protested with “vicious, ugly things shouted through a megaphone at everyone, more loudly at the children.”

So, the interreligious “wall of people” lined up on Sunday “to create a safe passageway,” “shield the family and children from the graphic posters and hateful comments that were being shouted at them” and greet the churchgoers – the footage of which is getting thousands of views.
