On November 12, 2001, The Denver Post featured an article on traditionally pacifist relgious groups. "Their religions call for pacifism. Popular opinion calls for revenge. With America at war, balancing those opposing forces is complicated for many members of Quaker, Mennonite and Church of the Brethren congregations. Pastors of those denominations in the Denver area said some of their peace-minded parishioners have found it difficult to push for peace at a time when polls show as many 90 percent of Americans support the war."
