'Christians shouldn’t be punished for expressing their religious beliefs. It’s ridiculous to consider the act of peacefully exercising one’s faith in a public park to be ‘disorderly conduct’ worthy of a jail sentence,' said ADF Senior Legal Counsel [Joel Oster]. 'We are surprised at how eager the city was to arrest Mr. Raven again in light of his appeal. Now he will serve time in jail; however, we will continue to aggressively pursue his appeal in court.'" ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/24/ny-christian-suddenly-arrested-jailed-in-park-prayer-case-2/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/24/ny-christian-suddenly-arrested-jailed-in-park-prayer-case/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/24/ny-christian-suddenly-arrested-jailed-in-park-prayer-case/#comments Wed, 24 Mar 2010 15:26:15 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/wordpress/2010/03/24/ny-christian-suddenly-arrested-jailed-in-park-prayer-case/ ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/24/ny-christian-suddenly-arrested-jailed-in-park-prayer-case/feed/ 0
