The Christian Institute has produced this helpful guide for street preachers. It is written in the form of a Charter, a document which enshrines duties and responsibilities alongside reciprocal rights and privileges. It also provides an overview of relevant laws. The purpose is to encourage good practice whilst discouraging behaviour which might give street preaching a bad name.
