The nondenominational Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids, MI is openly endorsing the "Occupy Grand Rapids" movement in word and deed. MLive.com reports that Senior Pastor Rev. Fred Wooden says that Jesus Christ himself would have been part of the anti-Wall Street protests if he were alive today. In addition to a vocally public endorsement, the church is also allowing protestors to sleep in their church parking lot at night. According to the article, other inter-faith organizations and churches are also beginning to express support for the growing movement for its outrage over growing poverty rates and extreme economic disparity.
