Video: police examine
church's Easter invite

Monday, 22 June 2009

In 2007 a five-strong team of police officers investigated a church's literature because someone said a leaflet inviting the public to an Easter service was 'offensive'.

Two mounted policemen were later joined by three armour-clad officers who jumped out of a police van to examine the Easter invitation leaflet.

Having found no evidence that the leaflet was offensive, the individual making the complaint changed his claim.

He told police he found it offensive that an evangelical church was allowed to advertise itself on the high street in a region which had a sizeable gay community.
