UK: Christian Pastor Arrested For Saying Marriage is Between a Man and a Woman Summit News

Sherwood was arrested under the Public Order Act, for using abusive or insulting words that cause harm to another person after a member of the public flagged down officers snitched on him.

Although the pastor was released without charge after spending a night in jail he is still under investigation by the Crown Prosecution Service and could be charged at a later date.

When the police approached me, I explained that I was exercising my religious liberty and my conscience, he added. I was forcibly pulled down from the steps and suffered some injury to my wrist and to my elbow. I do believe I was treated shamefully. It should never have happened.
