England is up to it's old tricks of putting preachers in jail.
In Wokington, Cumbria - less than a 3 hour drive from where I live - a man was arrested by a gay police 'support' officer, for saying homosexuality is a sin.
His comment about homosexuality was IN PRIVATE CONVERSATION when a passer-by asked him a question.
The preacher never made any reference to homosexuality while he preached the gospel in the streets.
The only person said to be offended was the gay police officer who eventually arrested the preacher.
He was eventually charged with charged with using abusive or insulting words or behavior contrary to the Public Order Act 1986. - the same charge they use against drunken soccer fans.
