The "haters" tried to picket the church, were prevented by police...

Excerpt: "Jesus taught that human life is holy. Since milk means life to the human race, milk is also holy. Yes, I know how it smells and sticks, and how your shoes look around a dairy barn. I know the smart of a cow's tail swished in your eye on a hot summer night, and the sound of greedy hogs in a trough...
