ELDORADO, Texas (BP) — A Baptist congregation housed about 80 women and children April 4-6 after a raid on the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS) near Eldorado, Texas.

Members of First Baptist Church in Eldorado embraced the opportunity, pastor Andy Anderson said.

First Baptist also loaned the use of two 25-seat church buses to help transport more than 180 women and children from the 1,619-acre polygamist compound.

“Our folks were eager to step in,” Anderson said. “We have church members who provided a large bulk of the money needed [to buy food].”
