I don't know about this.  My personal experience is that when folks are
working on practical organizing projects, they'll take the help that they
can get.  Maybe its exclusive to Mpls (something I doubt), but I have seen
Maoists, CP members, and anarchists work very comfortably with openly
religious folks on strikes and on anti-war demos.
