their emotional reactions to things. Those church members heard the word Russian, and just reacted, but didn't think. They didn't think about those Russians who were trying to preserve their own religious beliefs in the face of many obstacles. They didn't think about the Russian Orthodox church just 50 miles north of that small town, with a congregation of immigrants who fled to the US after the October Revolution.

They just plain didn't think much at all. Sadly, I was not quick enough to respond to their anger with information.
