Churches are usually built on private property. These goons are trespassing. The Usher should lock the front doors and the priest should instruct the alter boys to lock the back door. Call the police once the criminals are locked in and pass out any guns kept for such occasions to loyal churchgoers. Maybe assign a few loudmouths in the congregation to argue with the trespassers to buy time for the guns to be distributed and the police to arrive.
This goes one of two ways: a) the trespassers are arrested, charged, and word spreads QUICKLY in the Christian community that this is the right response or b) the protesters are arrested, let free by complacent AGs, and word spreads QUICKLY that calling the police isn't good enough.
