"Why is it I did not hear this from WOC, whose people were those being escorted by Police?"

Perhaps....because it was NOT as big a deal as it is being made out to be now, over a year later, in light of a current fund-raising effort?  Perhaps there really wasn't anything to really complain about?

As you said, you were TOLD the women were treated well. Never mentioned was the Anglican member - but now she is.  

I too have been wondering why no one mentioned this story  until now.  We all know distance between event and retelling can have either diminished or enhanced  effect.  Timing is everything, right?
