DAVID WILKERSON'S PASTOR'S CONVENTION – BIRMINGHAM, AL

By David Lackey

Operation Rescue Alabama went to the David Wilkerson Pastor's Conference last week in Birmingham. We carried signs from GAP that Tom Raddell brought from Cleveland in order to reach the 5,200 Pastors that were there. The auditorium entrance is 6 feet from the public right-of-way which enabled us to talk with many of the ministers as they entered.

The Chief of police told me we would have to be across the street. I had a copy of the map from the engineering dept of the city that clearly showed we were on public property. After a long discussion whereby we refused to move, they finally left us alone.

The first message was on the Church's failure to stand for Truth. Pastor Wilkerson said that we have set truth aside to build our ministries. All of the other messages reinforced what we were demonstrating out front. We passed out over 3000 pieces of literature and had hundreds of conversations. Most of these pastors had never seen these pictures. I have had many favorable calls since along with some requests for signs and literature.
