New York pastors and lay people arrested for praying in protest
NEW YORK—Police Thursday arrested 43 New York City pastors and lay people who were protesting the city’s ban on church use of public schools for worship services. The ban is scheduled to go into effect Feb. 12.
The arrests came after more than 200 people gathered in the rain outside a Bronx public school where Mayor Michael Bloomberg was giving his State of the City address. After singing songs and cheering speeches, protesters walked out in orderly groups of five to eight to kneel in front of barricades and pray. Police warned them to leave and then made arrests on charges of disorderly conduct.

Mon, 01/16/2012 - 12:48This would make the name for head line news. We are entering a renewed level of persecution. This is only the beginning and one of many such actions of police in many cities. We must resolve to stand fro the truth. As the constitution is weakened these attacks will increase. We are not the first and for sure not the last to face this opposition from the devil.
