Praise God, Westboro Baptist Church will not be protesting at the funerals of the shooting victims. Mike Gallagher has offered to allow them to speak on his radio show if they don't protest. They have accepted his offer and cancelled their plans.
Here is a portion of Mr. Gallagher's press release concerning this issue:
"You may recall that when they were planning to protest outside the funerals of the slain Amish children in Pennsylvania, I offered an hour of airtime on my radio show to Westboro Baptist Church in exchange for their written promise to stay out of Pennsylvania and leave those grieving families alone. They accepted my offer and were guests on my show for an hour. When I found out that they were planning to hold protests outside the Virginia Tech victims funerals, I've made the decision to offer them more airtime. On Tuesday, April 24, Shirley Phelps-Roper and other members of Westboro Baptist Church will be my in-studio guests for the entire program. They have formally announced that they are cancelling all of their scheduled protests for the Virginia Tech shooting victims funerals as a result of receiving this invitation to be on my show."
You can read Mr. Gallagher's entire statement here. Warning: He mentions some of the statements WBC was planning to paint on their signs and they are horrible.
We need to not only pray about WBC, but pray for the members of WBC. They need to meet Jesus.
