About 70 people had been inside First Baptist Church Jeffersontown for a Bible study, but it had ended by the time Bush arrived and the doors were locked. If Bush had been there just 45 minutes earlier, “it probably would have been very different,” said Pastor Kevin L. Nelson. “I think it is sad you have to even lock the doors of the church,” Nelson said. All that is changed today.”In March, the Kentucky Baptist Convention — one of the state’s largest denominations — held a statewide church security conference for the first time. And just because somebody looks different or acts a little different, well we want them in our churches,” he said.
