On the one flank we have this, the destruction of a 145-year old association between a Baptist group and the "Christian" Averett University ...
And on the other we have the not so Reverend Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas ...Averett's acceptance of a Gay-Straight Student Alliance and a Gay Pride Week led the Baptist General Association of Virginia to announce April 6 that it was ending its 145-year relationship with the university, which has about 1,000 students.
Averett President Richard Pfau said, "We're going to be an independent flagship Christian university, we're going to be a community of tolerance. .... We have had a sense of where we're going for at least the past decade."
(A few) protesters lined (up on) a street leading to the Averett campus ... two children ... held signs, one of which read "God hates fags."
"The homosexuals are taking over," said Rebekka Phelps-Davis, a church member and daughter of the Rev. Fred Phelps, pastor of the church. He did not attend the protest. "It's not going to be long before the Lord destroys this country," she said.
