Islamization in the UK > Pastor arrested in London for preaching Easter sermon in public

 

UK: Pastor arrested while preaching returns to street for first time in four months to deliver public Easter sermon

Britain’s policing has starkly evolved into a two-tier system. DEI water-carriers who are influenced by the “Islamophobia” subterfuge have driven the development of this two-tier system, which is seen in other leftist-run countries also. For instance, offending Muslims and the aggressive trans lobby has become “hate speech,” no questions asked. To ask questions or to preach in accordance with Christian ethics is no longer tolerated. However, insulting Christians and Jews and even screaming “from the River to the Sea” (which is a call to obliterate the state of Israel from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea) with terrorist flags raised and the police and other authorities will ignore you.

This older video exposes a pattern in Britain. It shows harassment from “ill-informed” police who are targeting Christians in public, in what has been termed “two tier policing” for some time:

CBN also reported on “persecution in the UK”…

The Alliance Defending Freedom described how the police interrogation of Moodley showed anti-Christian bias….

During the interview, Avon and Somerset Police officers asked Pastor Moodley questions, which indicated ideological bias and a failure to understand basic Christian beliefs.

For example, according to Pastor Moodley, the police asked why the pastor preached in an area where he knew Muslims would be present, suggesting there is no right to free speech in such areas. In reality, Pastor Moodley was preaching to all people present in the city centre of Bristol.

Also according to the pastor, most of the police questions focused on his comments on transgender ideology and police asked whether he should criticise the ideology as a Christian.

Pastor arrested while preaching returns to street for first time in 4 months

by Fintan Starkey, GB News, April 4, 2026:

Dia Moodley, 58, was taken into custody in November on suspicion of “inciting religious hatred” following a street sermon where he criticised Islam and transgender ideology, his legal representatives say.

The father of four alleges that Avon and Somerset Constabulary questioned him about why he chose to preach in an area where Muslims would be present.

“I’ve been arrested for something which is absolutely ludicrous. I did nothing [wrong], but here I am on Saturday going out again to preach during Easter time,” he said.

Mr Moodley argues that Muslims can gather publicly for prayer in London without consequence, while he faces potential arrest for Christian preaching, a disparity he characterises as “two-tier policing”.…

 

Islam and Christianity > Muslima converts to Christianity, husband attacks her in church

 

Uganda: Muslim woman converts to Christianity, her husband attacks her with a knife while she is at church

The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence.

This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.”

Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

Muslim Severely Wounds Christian Wife during Worship in Uganda

MEMRI, March 26, 2026:

NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – The Muslim husband of a mother of six in eastern Uganda severely wounded her this month as she was worshipping at a Bible study after he learned that she had converted to Christianity, sources said.

Hajati Kyakuwa Kamiyati, 45, remains in treatment for severe injuries at Bugiri Joint Clinic after the March 11 attack during the worship in Bugiri town, in the district of the same name.

Kamiyati, who made the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca last year, came to faith in Christ two months after her return. She had committed herself to regularly attending Bible study sessions in order to grow in her new faith, said her pastor, Rebecca Nakiranda.

“When I gave my life to Jesus, I was told to keep going to church so I could learn how to live as a new believer,” Kamiyati told a Morning Star News contact from her hospital bed.

She had attended services on Wednesdays and Saturdays while her husband, Mukiibi Rajabu, was away at work as a long-distance truck driver on routes to Mombasa, Kigali, South Sudan and other parts of Uganda.

Kamiyati said she suspects her husband learned about her conversion from a friend, Kyempasa Abdullah, who saw her attending church and informed him.

She said she was at Christ the King Church at 2 p.m. for a Bible study when her husband called to ask about her whereabouts. She told him she was at the market, and he reportedly responded calmly, saying he would return home in two days.

About 30 minutes later, however, Rajabu stormed into the Bible study armed with a stick and a knife as the Christians were singing praise songs after receiving Bibles for the study, according to Pastor Nakiranda. Witnesses said he went straight to where Kamiyati was standing and began attacking her.

Kamiyati sustained multiple serious injuries, including a cut on her face, a fractured hand and a suspected spinal cord injury, said church elder John Akello. She was left bleeding and unconscious before the attacker fled and disappeared, he said.

Worshippers fled in fear, and some who attempted to call police were unable to make contact, said Pastor Nakieranda….

After a Thousand Years a Woman is selected as Archbishop of Canterbury

 

Sarah Mullally becomes first woman to lead

Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Sarah Mullally was confirmed as the first female and 106th archbishop of Canterbury during a formal ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral in London on Wednesday.

Mullally, 63, previously was Britain's top nursing officer and had been the Bishop of London since 2018. She said she has received significant support for her appointment as Archbishop.

"There's a sense of the weight of office that I feel, but I've also been very conscious of the huge support that I've had from people either writing [to me] or passing me in the streets," Mullally told the BBC.

She said raising awareness of misogyny will be among her goals in her new role.

"It is fair to say that I have, both in my secular role as well as in the church, experienced misogyny at times," Mullally said.

"I'm conscious that being in this role, it's important for me to speak it because there are some that don't necessarily have the status or power of this role and feel more hesitant to do it," she added.

"I commit myself to making an environment where all people can flourish and which is safer for all," Mullally said.

Sounds like a woke mentality. Perhaps even an agenda to change the thousand year old church to make it more welcoming for gay and lesbian leaders.

St Paul wrote that women should not be in a position of authority in the church over men. He cited Eve's disastrous decision in the Garden and her influence over Adam in sharing that decision as reason for men to be responsible for women in spiritual matters. This doctrine has worked in the church for a millenium, but suddenly is not good enough. Watch for trouble between the African church and Canterbury. There will be much spiritual antagonism there,

Mullally's ascent to the Church of England's leading role ends the scandalous term of former Archbishop Justin Welby, who resigned in 2024 due to concerns that he did not do enough to stop a known abuser of boys and young men, who was associated with the church.

Welby was the first archbishop to resign from the Church of England due to a scandal in 1,000 years.

Mullally's rise to archbishop was not universally welcomed within the church.

Some African church elders were unhappy with her confirmation, and others have questioned her ability to protect church members.

Church of Nigeria Archbishop Henry Ndukuba said Mullally's new role as an archbishop runs counter to the "conviction of the majority of Anglicans who are unable to embrace female headship of the episcopate."

Echoing that sentiment, Rwanda Anglican Church Archbishop Laurent Mbanda issued a statement in which he said the "majority of the Anglican Communion still believes that the Bible requires a male-only episcopacy."

Mullally acknowledged such concerns and said she understands that some will find it problematic for a woman to lead the Church of England.

"What I hope to do is to be able to provide a space where I can offer hospitality to people, where I can listen to what their concerns are and, in a sense, find some way in which we can at least have a partnership together in that way," she said.

Mullally acknowledged other concerns that include her support for same-sex marriage and her ability to safeguard church members following the scandal that forced Welby to resign.

The Church of England also recently dismissed a complaint that accused Mullally of protecting an alleged abuser while she was the bishop of London by sharing emails detailing abuse allegations against that person.

Former London Diocese safeguarding adviser Michell Burns has accused the diocese of placing a greater importance on protecting its reputation than addressing the potential abuse of victims.

What good things some churches in America are doing

 

How American Churches Are Erasing Millions in Medical Debt

—and Why It Matters

Millions of Americans are drowning in medical debt, facing delayed care and financial ruin, but a powerful movement is emerging as churches step in to make a life-changing difference.

Debt has been a problem for centuries, but did you know that the medical debt crisis in the U.S. has recently reached a breaking point?

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), this crisis impacts over 100 million Americans. Not only are high costs at stake, but these individuals have inadequate insurance, pop-up bills, and low coverage, often leading to financial ruin, delayed care, or even bankruptcy. KFF further reports that 1 in 6 Americans claims “debt,” just under half say it’s difficult to afford proper health care, and 36% say they’ve skipped or postponed getting health care they needed because of costs. Add the mess of prescription drugs into the mix, and one in five adults (21%) say they’ve not filled a prescription because of the cost.

In 2022, 4 in 10 reported debt due to mental or dental bills, but this number is only rising. And even those who are covered by health insurance aren’t immune to the burdens of these costs. But there is hope. Local churches aren’t just stepping up to proclaim goodwill towards men; they’re seeking to help individuals walk debt-free.

The Christian Daily reports that Spirit and Truth Church in Atlanta, Georgia, has cleared over $1.5 million in medical debt for those struggling in the community. Rev. Mark Moore Jr. explains that his Church is just one of several that have raised funds to help pay off medical debt over the years. As an inspiration to others, Moore notes, “Medical debt should never determine a family's future or rob individuals of dignity and peace. This Christmas, Spirit and Truth Church chose to respond with faith in action — lifting a burden that no one should have to carry alone.”

Today, other churches have joined this growing movement of biblical compassion and stewardship. Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Omaha, Nebraska, Trinity Moravian Church in North Carolina, and Saint Andrew’s Parish in Saratoga, California, are just a few examples, each raising thousands to millions spanning numerous counties.

Millions of Americans are burdened by medical debt. This is a fact that causes a disproportionate impact on low-income families. After all, medical debt is a leading cause of financial stress in most homes. But the Church can play a role.

Beyond raising funds, churches like these have partnered with nonprofits like RIP Medical Debt and Undue Medical Debt. These organizations and partnerships make it easy for donors (Churches) to make a difference in the lives of those struggling with medical debt. These processes work by using donor funds to purchase medical bills from hospitals and collectors, and then forgiving them for people in hardship. Essentially, millions are erased through collective giving.

Not only are many churches partnering with organizations like these, but they are emphasizing community, dignity, and anonymity. Because the focus isn’t on the Church or even the giving, but on God who enables them to give. And just as Jesus has forgiven us our debt, why wouldn’t we choose to forgive and bless others financially as we’re able?

In Matthew 25:35-40, we read these words: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you as a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me’ “ (NIV).

Notice that Jesus didn’t just mention food, money, or clothing. He mentioned all of it. Because we are whole people who require complex care. But in every statement, we see love, compassion, and generosity—three things we’re continually called to give away today.

Medical debt relief is one form of modern-day mercy ministry that individuals can partake in. It’s the church reclaiming its role in practical compassion and living faith out in action. Today, you might not be in a church that supports these types of funding. That’s okay. You can still pray, give, and advocate, for it’s always more blessed to give than to receive.
