This form of protest also has history in the Church. When a replacement minister was sent to my husband'g Grandmother's congregation many years ago She and the rest of the congregation stood and turnt their back's rather than allow him to preach. If they accepted his preaching he would have been their new minister and they were going to be clear that they did not want his style of ministry.

All forms of non-violent protest take part of their strength in rudeness.

I find this extremely hopeful especially since my daughter's tour of Georgetown was led by an extremely conservative young man who left me wtih a very disquieting feeling.
