Hate Comes to Arlington
I live in the Waycroft-Woodlawn neighborhood of Arlington VA. My house is on N. 16th St, 2 blocks west of Glebe Road. On the Southeast corner of the intersection of Glebe and N. 16th St. is the Mount Olivet United Methodist Church. The Church has been on that site since before the Civil War, as you can read in its history. It sponsors AA meetings, provides food for the needy, its Boy Scout troop sells Christmas trees. I have served on the Board of our local community center, and in general they have been cooperative, with no more than the normal rough edges between a church many of whose members are from outside our community and the immediate neighborhood.
We cannot blame them for what happened this morning.
Today hate came to Arlington.
Today the Church was picketed - by the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka KS.
Yes those people.
