[nagdu] Churches

[Brenda]

That is just plain disgusting.  Too bad a bunch of guide dog users in 
the area couldn't show up with a few people with cameras for the media.  
I don't like to cut down churches, but this behavior is outrageous.  
Could you contact the governing agency of the denomination and let them 
know this is going on?
