(credits: CBN News) A street preacher who says he was arrested June 10 and had his Bible and personal items briefly seized is warning of worsening religious freedom conditions in the United Kingdom. Ryan Schiavo, an American-born preacher, said he was ministering when he found himself in cops' crosshairs."I went out in the streets to evangelize — that's what I spend most of my time doing here, and we chose to go to the city of Canterbury," he told CBN's Faithwire, noting a young friend who wanted to learn more about street preaching accompanied him. "We went on a Saturday, and, upon our arrival, we saw. rainbow paraphernalia pretty much everywhere in the city center." Schiavo said he quickly realized there was a Pride event unfolding and carried on with his ministry. He found a spot to preach and he began speaking about the words in Romans 1, specifically verses 18 through 32."[I] began to talk about how God will bring judgment and wrath on society for sin, particularly sexual sin," he said. "And did speak about the homosexual and LGBT agenda — the damage it's doing to society, how God views this." Schiavo said. "Within a short period of time" a crowd came around him, with supporters and detractors alike. CBN's Billy Hallowell has the interview.At one point, the evangelist said he was having a productive talk with a member of the LGBTQ community when a handful of police officers came on the scene. And that's when the situation reportedly devolved. Here's Schiavo's story.CBN News.
