Baptist Church Takes Polygamists

More than 80 women and children are being housed at the Eldorado First Baptist Church after a raid on a nearby polygamist compound. The church loaned state officials their buses and a grocery chain is providing food. Members are cooking and helping keep the group comfortable. First Baptist cancelled Sunday School classes. The man who sparked the raid because of a sexual abuse complaint actually lives in Arizona. In all, more than 400 people have been removed from the secretive Yearning for Zion Ranch.
