D’Eredita told CNA she attended Osteen’s church as a child and knows Osteen personally. While Osteen has expressed pro-life views in the past, the abortion issue does not play a prominent role in his ministry. D’Eredita said the activist group chose Osteen’s evangelical non-denominational church — whose church building can seat 16,800 — because its broadcasts attract millions of viewers around the world.
The incident began just as Osteen was starting his sermon at the 11 a.m. Pentecost Sunday service, the videos show.
As the congregation sat down, a woman stood up and pulled off her dress. Wearing only her underwear, she then began shouting pro-abortion slogans and expletives. Two other women proceeded to do the same, the videos show.
The women almost immediately were met by men wearing suits who began escorting them out of the building.
After the shouting began, Osteen told the congregation, “And we’ll wait just one moment here but God is good and he’s on the throne and he’s in control.”
