We have a right in this country to practice any religion we choose. No reliable statistics exist on the number of practicing pagans in the Bay Area, but estimates range from 30,000 to 50,000. Lea, who arrived in San Francisco Wednesday to prepare for the crusade says he was surprised by the intensity of the pagan backlash, which has not been evident in similar campains in Anaheim, Miami, Chicago and Philadelphia. Instead, Lea says, they will keep a low profile inside the Civic Auditorium. I love all people.
Every person has the right to believe what they want to believe.
But I have the freedom to stand up and say they're wrong. The Rev. Dick Bernall, pastor of Jubilee Christian Center in San Jose is disappointed that the prayer warriors will not be a visible presence on the streets of San Francisco. Many of Jubilee's 5,000 congregants are expected to take part in the Lea crusade. But the war on Satan will go on - inside the auditorium. There'll be singing, preaching and speaking in tongues.
