Dale McAlpine was charged with causing “harassment, alarm or distress” after a homosexual police community support officer (PCSO) overheard him reciting a number of “sins” referred to in the Bible, including blasphemy, drunkenness and same sex relationships.
戴爾麥卡爾被控造成“騷擾，驚恐或困擾”，在經過同性戀警察社區支援人員（PCSO）聽完他背誦聖經所提到的各種“罪孽”後，包括褻瀆，酗酒和同性戀關係。
The 42-year-old Baptist, who has preached Christianity in Workington, Cumbria for years, said he did not mention homosexuality while delivering a sermon from the top of a stepladder, but admitted telling a passing shopper that he believed it went against the word of God.
42歲的浸信會教徒在坎布里亞郡沃琼頓傳揚基督教多年，說他沒有提及同性戀在從 摺梯的頂部佈道的同時，但承認告訴一名路過的購物者，他認為它違反神的話語。
Police officers are alleging that he made the remark in a voice loud enough to be overheard by others and have charged him with using abusive or insulting language, contrary to the Public Order Act.
警方人員聲稱，他用足以給別人聽到的響亮聲音作上述評論，並指控他濫用侮辱語言，違反公安條例。
Mr McAlpine, who was taken to the police station in the back of a marked van and locked in a cell for seven hours on April 20, said the incident was among the worst experiences of his life.
麥卡爾平先生在 04月20日被客貨車帶到警察局，並被鎖在監倉 7小時，說事件是他生命中最差的經驗，。
“I felt deeply shocked and humiliated that I had been arrested in my own town and treated like a common criminal in front of people I know," he said.
“我感到深深震驚和羞辱，我已在我的城市被逮捕，並在我識的人面前像一個普通罪般被對待，”他說。
“My freedom was taken away on the hearsay of someone who disliked what I said, and I was charged under a law that doesn't apply.”
“我的自由被一個傳聞不喜歡我說的東西的人取走，我被不適用的法律所控告。”
Christian campaigners have expressed alarm that the Public Order Act, introduced in 1986 to tackle violent rioters and football hooligans, is being used to curb religious free speech.
基督教運動家已表示震驚，1986年引入的公安法，用以對付暴力暴徒和足球流氓，被用來抑制宗教言論自由。
Sam Webster, a solicitor-advocate for the Christian Institute, which is supporting Mr McAlpine, said it is not a crime to express the belief that homosexual conduct is a sin.
一名支持麥卡爾先生的基督徒學會的律師倡導者山姆韋伯斯特說，它不是犯罪去表達信念同性戀行為是一種罪過。
“The police have a duty to maintain public order but they also have a duty to defend the lawful free speech of citizens,” he said.
“警方有責任維持公眾秩序，但他們也有責任去捍衛合法的公民言論自由，”他說。
“Case law has ruled that the orthodox Christian belief that homosexual conduct is sinful is a belief worthy of respect in a democratic society."
“案例法例已裁定正統基督教信仰，所指的同性戀行為是有罪的，在民主社會是一個值得尊重的信仰。”
Mr McAlpine was handing out leaflets explaining the Ten Commandments or offering a “ticket to heaven” with a church colleague on April 20, when a woman came up and engaged him in a debate about his faith.
麥卡爾平先生是在派發單張，在4月20日與一名教堂同工解釋十誡或送出'往天堂的車票'時，一位婦女走來並就他的信仰與他舌戰辯論。
During the exchange, he says he quietly listed homosexuality among a number of sins referred to in 1 Corinthians, including blasphemy, fornication, adultery and drunkenness.
在交流中，他說他悄悄地列出包括同性戀的數種罪孽，引述自哥林多前書，包括褻瀆，私通，通姦和酗酒。
After the woman walked away, she was approached by a PCSO who spoke with her briefly and then walked over to Mr McAlpine and told him a complaint had been made, and that he could be arrested for using racist or homophobic language.
在女人走開後，她曾被一PCSO接近並與她簡短講話，然後走過去麥卡爾平先生處，並告訴他一項投訴已作出，即他可能被拘捕因為使用種族主義或討厭、害怕同性戀的語言。
The street preacher said he told the PCSO: “I am not homophobic but sometimes I do say that the Bible says homosexuality is a crime against the Creator”.
街道傳道人說，他告訴 PCSO：“我不是害怕同性戀的但有時我確會說，聖經說同性戀是針對造物主的一種犯罪，”。
He claims that the PCSO then said he was homosexual and identified himself as the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender liaison officer for Cumbria police. Mr McAlpine replied: “It’s still a sin.”
他聲稱那PCSO隨後說他是同性戀的，和確定自己是坎布里亞郡警方的女同性戀、男同性戀、雙性戀和變性者的聯絡官，麥卡爾平先生回答：“它仍是一種罪。”
The preacher then began a 20 minute sermon, in which he says he mentioned drunkenness and adultery, but not homosexuality. Three regular uniformed police officers arrived during the address, arrested Mr McAlpine and put him in the back of a police van.
傳道人然後開始20分鐘的佈道，內裡他說他提過醉酒和通姦，但沒有同性戀。 3個正規穿制服的警務人員在演說中到達，逮捕麥卡爾平先生和把他放在警車的後面。
At the station, he was told to empty his pockets and his mobile telephone, belt and shoes were confiscated. Police took fingerprints, a palm print, a retina scan and a DNA swab.

He was later interviewed, charged under Sections 5 (1) and (6) of the Public Order Act and released on bail on the condition that he did not preach in public.

Mr McAlpine pleaded not guilty at a preliminary hearing on Friday at Wokingham magistrates court and is now awaiting a trial date.

The Public Order Act, which outlaws the unreasonable use of abusive language likely to cause distress, has been used to arrest religious people in a number of similar cases.

Harry Hammond, a pensioner, was convicted under Section 5 of the Act in 2002 for holding up a sign saying “Stop immorality. Stop Homosexuality. Stop Lesbianism. Jesus is Lord” while preaching in Bournemouth.

Stephen Green, a Christian campaigner, was arrested and charged in 2006 for handing out religious leaflets at a Gay Pride festival in Cardiff. The case against him was later dropped.

Cumbria police said last night that no one was available to comment on Mr McAlpine’s case.
