Two street preachers have today been convicted of a public order offence, after a public prosecutor claimed that publicly quoting parts of the King James Bible in modern Britain should “be considered to be abusive and is a criminal matter”. Prosecutor Ian Jackson also told the court that “although the words preached are included in a version of the Bible in 1611, this does not mean that they are incapable of amounting to a public order offence in 2016.” Michael Overd and Michael Stockwell were found guilty under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 at Bristol Magistrates’

A Labour-run London council has become the first nationwide to allow its schools to opt out of providing Christian assemblies. State-funded non-faith schools are required by law to offer a daily act of worship which must be “wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character”, unless granted special dispensation by the local authority. But Brent Council in north-west London has used that loophole to offer all its schools an opt-out, encouraging them to take up the option and replace Christian worship with multi-faith assemblies, the Mirror has reported.

“College costs four years and $100,000 to discover that you can’t know anything.” Variations of that sentiment have been circulated by trend watchers, cultural commentators and worldview speakers like myself for years now. Over a decade ago, in his excellent and heavily footnoted work “Brainwashed,” author Ben Shapiro observed that a college “education” at many universities…
A Christian street preacher was locked up and charged with a hate crime for quoting from the Book of Genesis in response to a gay teenager’s questions on how God views homosexuals.

“Something to be concerned about also is what kind of values and attitudes these girls will be exposed to. They may be quite the opposite of what their parents have.” Admin The U.K.’s new Equality and Diversity Policy makes it unlawful for the Girl Guide organization to tell parents if their daughter’s group is being led by a transgender man, even on overnight trips. “It’s shocking that if there is a man who believes he is a woman leading the group, it is forbidden that parents should be informed, even on residential trips,” Amanda Gracey told The Christian Institute.

The Islamic call to prayer was made in Gloucester Cathedral last week during a multi-cultural exhibition, which also included Buddhist chanting, Rasta drumming and a pagan rock band. Tim Dieppe explains that the Islamic call to prayer is an explicit denial of Christianity, and an invitation to worship a different god. A multi-cultural exhibition was launched in Gloucester Cathedral last week with the Islamic call to prayer. This prompted some criticism, and the Cathedral subsequently deleted their Facebook post on the call to prayer. The Islamic call to prayer clearly states that “there is no god but Allah” and

“The sad reality is the US has taken in very few Christian refugees, less than 2 percent of the total. It appears our self-proclaimed Christian prez, Mr. O, does not want Christian refugees, strange don’t you think. Let’s hope Trump will change this regrettable policy.” Admin Muslim “refugees” from the Middle East have become a worldwide issue, with Germany plagued by sexual assaults, Scandinavians and Brits wondering what happened to their cultures and the United States suffering “lone-wolf” terror attacks. Despite the concerns, many Western governments have gone to great lengths to open their doors to the Islamic migrants. But

A priest in the German city of Leipzig who works with underage migrants has revealed that Muslim migrant children constantly bully their Christian counterparts. 58-year-old Catholic priest Andreas Knapp stated that the majority of migrant youths he supports in his study club are Muslim but reports that the Christian minority is being actively persecuted by Muslim children, reports German radio broadcaster Deutschlandradio Kultur. In one case, a Christian boy was so grievously bullied by Muslim classmates at a school for integration that he had to change schools.
