North End Alliance for Truth

The North End Alliance for Truth, sometimes known by the acronym NEAT, is an organization formed by religious conservatives (initially by members of Shiloh Baptist Church and Our Savior Lutheran Church) to oppose the establishment of a Free Spirit Local Gathering meetinghouse in the North End area of Stallbrook. While they begin by trying to create a negative portrait of the Free Spirits among North End residents, this fails to take hold. Their subsequent tactics include petitioning for an injunction to prevent construction and renovation, proposing an ordinance to limit the number of place of worship a religious organization may establish, and finally blockading a shipment of solar panels to the construction site. All of these efforts fail, and the attempted blockade is even condemned by Shiloh Baptist's senior pastor. When a disturbed individual throws a Molotov cocktail at the building, the Alliance is initially blamed for it. Still, construction goes on, and the opening of the north metro Gathering's meetinghouse renders their cause moot.
