Response to the arrest of Stephen Green

Statements

Short statement from the Evangelical Alliance

06 September 2006

The Evangelical Alliance has noted with regret the arrest of Stephen Green, Director of Christian Voice, for handing out leaflets incorporating Bible verses at Saturday's Mardi Gras event in Cardiff.

The Evangelical Alliance is passionately committed to freedom of speech, religious liberties and the right, as Christians, to freely proclaim our faith which we fear may have been eroded in this case. We shall be following proceedings with close interest.
