The Home Office is currently consulting on whether to remove the word ‘insulting’ from section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986. This consultation is extremely important because a number of Christians, including street preachers, have been arrested under section 5. It represents a continuing threat to freedom of speech and the word needs to be removed to prevent further persecution of Christian evangelism on our streets. The Home Office consultation on police powers to promote and maintain public order closes on Friday 13th January 2012

Pray: for every detail of this consultation to be resolved according to God’s purposes for Britain. (Ps.2:8)
