As crowds swelled in the streets of Wimbledon, London, to watch the famed tennis tournament July 1, Tony Miano stood
preaching out of his worn Bible to anyone who would listen. A former
Los Angeles County deputy sheriff, Miano now spends his time
evangelizing outside of abortion centers and on the street while
carrying a cross. He worked for Ray Comfort’s street evangelism ministry
until last year and writes for the blog Cross Encounters.
Last Monday afternoon, he preached on 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12, calling on people who have engaged in sexually immoral lifestyles—lust, premarital sex, and homosexuality—to repent.
After 25 minutes, local police cut Miano off and took
him into custody. An offended woman had called to complain about the
preaching and while street preaching is not illegal—Miano had been
preaching for a week already—his offensive message was.
