A few days ago, former Minneapolis City Council President Jackie Cherryhomes went to the park near her north Minneapolis home to collect her 10-year-old daughter.
As she approached Farview Park at the end of the beautiful spring day, she noticed that several children, including her daughter, were in conversation with four adults she didn't recognize.
"Three geeky white guys and a lady," Cherryhomes said.
She said the conversation that ensued went something like this:
"Who are you?" she asked.
"We're from a church," one said.
"Which church?" she asked.
"Straitgate Church," one answered.
"Where's that?" she asked.
"Park and Franklin," she was told.
"That's the other side of town," Cherryhomes said.
"We do our evangelical outreach on the North Side," she was told. "We've brought a thousand souls to Jesus."Talking to kids in the park is just wrong," she said. "Talking to kids about religion is even worse."We've got permits from the state," was the response.
I had no idea you could even get a brainwashing permit!
This such a great story because it shows that some religious people are so pushy they actually scare other religious people.
