Legal Advice on Street Preaching
 There are many sensible laws which protect freedom to preach and distribute free Christian literature in public places.
In some instances, public officials have sought to restrict this liberty by misapplying the law. It is therefore important that Christians who engage in evangelism in public places have some knowledge of the law.
The Christian Institute has published information about these laws on its website. This includes legal advice from a lawyer given to the Open Air Mission. We have reproduced this advice with the permission of OAM and its lawyer.

Free speach dose not protect you in the case of offence.
| | | Peter Carr | 26/06/2008, 08:08 | | Interesting article. I wonder, did Paul or any of the other apostles etc take legal advice before obeying God's call upon their lives?
| | | Peter Colin (Guest) | 29/01/2010, 10:41 | | Paul and the apostles obeyed God even when it brought them into conflict with the authorities. However, Paul was aware of his legal rights as a Roman citizen and as the book of Acts records, on at least one occasion he used these rights in his favour.
| | | John Parker (Guest) | 29/01/2010, 11:18 | | With the news yesterday that a van driver was given a standing fine by the police for blowing his nose while his van was stationary with the handbrake on we can see where this country is heading.
Add this to stories about poeple being threatened by police officers for taking pictures in a public place and we need to ask how long it will be before Christians (and other 'enemies of the state') will be locked up on the most spurious of charges.
| | | Peter Carr | 29/01/2010, 12:02 | | Not long John! And maybe that is what we need to push the church out of its comfort zones. Persecution tends to refine!!

Careful what you post, especially when it comes to those who oppose Israel!
| | | The Editor | 30/01/2010, 06:46 | | Paul, I would appreciate it if you could contact me regarding the information that you have referred to.
Thanks in anticipation. editor@christianstogether.net
| | | Paul Whitworth (Guest) | 30/01/2010, 12:36 | | OH NO,
I made it sound like I agree with Rev Sizer, NOT AT ALL!
I meant to write,
Careful what you post, especially when it comes to challenging those who oppose Israel!
Though I personally wouldn't mind the opportunity to witness to a couple of policemen.
