Today we were witnessing and preaching in Manchester as has been our tradition for several years now. Today we were approached on more than one occasion by several Police Officers who tried to intimidate us into leaving because of "several complaints" that what we were doing was offensive to people. We mentioned that we simply read the Bible or quoted the Bible to which one of them replied, "Well you should only read the bits that don't offend people!" Read more ...
