Two street preachers have been convicted of public order offences, after a public prosecutor claimed that quoting parts of the King James Bible in the context of modern British society "must be considered to be abusive and is a criminal matter".

A Christian evangelist who was manhandled and arrested by police last year whilst preaching on the streets of Bristol, is to stand trial tomorrow (Thursday 23 February) charged with public order offences.

Andrea Williams, Chief Executive of Christian Concern and a member of General Synod, responds to the recent vote on the House of Bishops report.

A Scottish evangelist has been cleared of all charges after he was arrested on the streets of Irvine. Gordon Larmour was charged with behaving in a "threatening or abusive manner aggravated by prejudice relating to sexual orientation" and "assault", after he answered questions from some young men in the street about the Christian view on homosexual practice.
