Pastor fined $900 for preaching in UK

Coming soon to Victoria

A 78 year old pastor was convicted in court after holding an open air Sunday service.

What you are about to read is something that should never happen in a free country.

An elderly pastor held an open air Sunday service in Northern Ireland.

For this ”crime” the man was convicted in court.

It may sound unbelievable, but this is the world we live in now.

The 78 year old preached a short and peaceful sermon based on the famous Bible verse John 3:16.

”For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever beleiveth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

They also sang hymns.

So what happened? Police arrived at the scene telling him that he was in a ”safe access zone” and that preaching there (remember, he was in a public space) could be a ”reckless influence” on ”protected persons”.

Why?

Because there was a hospital nearby.

Yes, you read that correctly.

There was a hospital nearby that provided abortion facilities. And the patient/staff at the hospital doing or working on abortion are considered ”protected persons”.

For this, the pastor was convicted in court and ordered to pay £450 in fines and he now has a criminal record.

This means that in the UK you are not allowed to preach the gospel in merely the vicinity of where a ”protected person” could be.

in the UK they have something called ”safe access zones” which exist within 100 meters (can be extended up to 250 meters) of a facility that provides abortion or places where information or counselling about abortion are provided.

They are also called ”buffer zones”.

If anyone within these zones do something that is considered influencing patients or staff, that is illegal.

And now the court has found that merely holding an open air Sunday service is illegal if it is to close to the hospital.

In the sermon, there was no mention of abortion whatsoever. There were no placards mentioning abortion either.

The sermon was focused on John 3:16.

So this was simply an open air service preaching the gospel that wasn’t a protest at all.

People in the UK have previously been arrested by police simply for praying silently in their head in the vicinity of an abortion facility.

Literally arrested for thought crimes.

”If simply reading the Bible, praying, and preaching on God’s love can now be considered harmful because someone might overhear it within a certain area, then we have crossed a very serious line” said the pastor.

So now we are at the point in the UK where Christians are being persecuted and convicted in court for the crime of preaching the gospel publicly on the street.

That is indeed a very serious line that has been crossed.

Not only is free speech under attack, but freedom of religion is also under attack.

  1. Just BTW folks,

    Don’t any of you be casting aspersions against ANY other country, while we’re all happily standing by and allowing the MASS MURDER and LIVE BUTCHERY of over 100,000 perfectly healthy newborn Australian babies in every state and territory across the continent each and every year right here in Australia.

    COMMERCIALISED INDUSTRIAL-SCALE INFANTICIDE for PROFIT, fully legalised and endorsed and PROMOTED by EVERY Australian state and territory government.

    Mass murder, child butchery, FULLY LEGALISED for PROFIT. An entire nation-wide INDUSTRY run by many thousands of socially esteemed professional BABY BUTCHERS.

    Congratulations Australia, on a par with Ukraine for the title of Satan Central to the world.

  2. Well folks,

    Seems Eddie Catflap was right, no matter where you go anywhere across the Western world – “All coppers are bastards!”

    And what’s more, they’re all congenitally retarded morons, they all have the proverbial shit-for-brains, they all enjoy bashing Granny and molesting children and raping pigs, and they all hate their own countries. All prerequisites, it seems, for employment in the Treasonous mass-murdering ARMIES of hired mercenary thugs now entrenched throughout EVERY Western country.

    And they get away with all the shit they get away with because WE LET THEM.

    Mr. Rope & Mr. Lamp Post have the remedy for what ails us, but it’s apparently still some years away before enough of the Useless Eaters finally wake up and decide to actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT FFS.

  3. So does this also apply to Mosques? Or Muslims praying in the street outside a church? Couldn’t the call to prayer from a Mosque also be seen in the same light by the judiciary or are they untouchable

  4. More evidence that we are very close to the time when the Abomination of Desolation will be set up and the “Time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation” will begin and progress for 42 months as stated in Revelation 13 and Daniel 12. It’s certainly” On the way!”

  5. The Abortion industry is big big money!
    How dare a pastor speak out loud about Gods free love while there are feminists in there committing murder and making big money for hospitals and feeding their false god Moloch with child sacrifice. (Sarcasm intended)
    What these fools don’t understand is that the God of Christianity is the very foundation of the UK.
    It wouldn’t exist without him.
    By constantly offending the grace of Jesus Christ like this then you are kicking out the foundations of the very thing that supports the structure and the whole thing collapses.
    As goes the UK so goes the commonwealth.
    We’re in for some very dark times ahead.
