LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. -- Covenant College students who met Monday with members of a gay-rights group called the visit positive and informative.
"We may see sin differently and have different convictions, but we're all people," sophomore Mary Beth Morse, 19, said. "We're God's people and he loves us the same, so I think it's wrong for us to show hate or any kind of bitterness."
A group of 26 Soulforce members arrived in the morning outside the entrance of the campus and stood along a public side street, despite being told by college administrators they would be arrested if they set foot on campus property.
Four members eventually were arrested for trespassing when they crossed onto the private property to give Dean of Students Bruce Voyles a copy of a document outlining ideals they wanted the college to attain.
