When so much emotion and tension surrounds this issue, it was nice to have a report that is balanced and on a fresher topic. The article tells why and how some churchgoers were trained.

Very balanced analysis of the topic with focus not only on the point of view of the organisers of the training of civilians to defend churches but also on the differing points of view of experts.

This is great look into an emerging industry of security training for church-goers. Author Jake Bleiberg provides sources from all sides of the issue, including the legal opinions of an expert. It's a very interesting business concept, although clearly it's unfortunate that Churches even need to consider it.
