About 20 people, dressed in black, staged
a protest on Sunday, October 16 outside of
the new Mars Hill church in Southeast
Portland.
The protest, led by eight-member anti
fascism group Rose City Antifa, was held
during the church’s first meeting. The group
opposes the church’s views, including those
on homosexuality, which the church believes
is a sin, as well as its views on women; Mars
Hill Seattle Pastor Mark Driscoll has said
that women should not hold church leader
ship positions.
The group is a local chapter of the Anti-
Racist Action, a self-proclaimed radical an
ti-fascist group. Rose City Antifa started in
2007 to shut down Hammerfest, a neo-Nazi
festival that drew a crowd of 100 to the
Portland area.
Mars Hill announced in September it
would open a new church in Portland. The
announcement was met with opposition
from the LGBTQ_ community. A protest
“kiss-in" was originally planned on Facebook
to coincide with the church’s first official
gathering on September 10, but it was called
off when the church canceled the gathering.
The church said it didn’t want to interfere
with the Belmont Street Fair, which was held
in the neighborhood on the same day.
Documentary A Jihad for Love
screens at Q Center October 26.
Mars Hill Portland Pastor Tim Smith and
leaders at Q_Center have since met to start a
dialogue, a move met with mixed reactions
by the LGBTQ_community. Smith and the
Q_Center are planning to hold regular meet
ings between members of the evangelical
Christian and LGBTQcommunities.
Rose City Antifa member Caroline, who
declined to give her last name out of fear of
retaliation from neo-Nazi groups, says the
meetings give Mars Hill “credibility” that it
doesn’t deserve.
“We feel like it’s more productive to en
gage with people who want to fight patriar
chy and homophobia,” Caroline said.
Smith said the protesters “certainly have
the right to make their position known the
same way we have the right to hold our be
liefs.” But he added the group “directed an
ger toward families and kids in a pretty
harsh way.” A report published online Oc
tober 16 by The Oregonian said that protest
ers “shouted profanities at adults and
children.”
Caroline said that though “at no point
was anyone accosting children,” the group
has a right to be angry. She said one would
be incorrect to assume that “if you’re nice
you’re on the right side, and if you’re angry
you’re on the wrong side.”
Rose City Antifa plans to hold another
protest but hasn’t yet scheduled a date.
