The protest started about 9:30a.m. on Sunday as members of the Cornerstone Church on Bank street in the town of Batavia were arriving for a 10:00a.m. sermon. The church had security on hand and did have to intervene after a woman from the Cornerstone property crossed the road and attempted to a pull a sign down from another woman’s face and take her photo (woman with sign above). A member of the church with a radio responded across the street and collected the woman telling her to not engage with protesters and she was escorted back onto the church property which was roped off with yellow tape. (Photos below) The protest ended about 10:15am.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The protesters expressed their distaste for a group of people that are scheduled to speak at the location next month. The ReAwaken America Tour( ReAwaken America Tour – Wikipedia<\/a> ) was recently cancelled in Rochester due pressure on the venue operator. The venue operator was pressured by protests from musical acts who canceled their appearances and pressure from the public. It has since relocated to Batavia at the Cornerstone Church. Due to the content talked about during the event, many feel the event should not be held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
