California Church Threatened for Hosting Muslim Group's Convention 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
National advocacy group the Muslim Public Affairs Council held its
annual gathering at a California church on Saturday, overcoming threats
spurred by a right-wing Christian group. The Institute on Religion and
Democracy denounced Pasadena's All Saints Church after it became the
first church to host a U.S. Muslim group's national convention.
Organizers sought the protection of police and private security after
the church was flooded with hate mail.
