Sign our Petition against Buffer Zones \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n The Council have sent Stephen Green a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN). It demands \u00a3100. The Notice came with a covering letter from Paul Murphy, \u2018Safer Communities Operations Manager\u2019. Mr Murphy\u2019s letter was dated 9th March 2023. The FPN, dated 2nd March, contains the threat of court action in the event that the sum of \u00a3100 remains unpaid after fourteen days.<\/p>\n The FPN was issued by Mr Jess Murray, \u2018Assistant Director for Safer Communities and Resident Services, Ealing Council.\u2019 Although it says it was \u2018given in person to Mr Stephen Green\u2019, it was actually sent recorded delivery (or \u2018signed for\u2019).<\/p>\n Mr Murray says: \u2018I have reason to believe that you have committed an offence.\u2019 He goes on: \u2018Details of the alleged offence are contained in this notice. This notice offers you the opportunity of discharging any liability to conviction for that offence by payment of a fixed penalty.\u2019 Mr Murray says that if the \u00a3100 is paid within fourteen days, \u2018you will not be liable to conviction\u2019. Then comes the threat: \u2018If you fail to pay the fixed penalty within that period, legal proceedings for the offence may be commenced against you.\u2019.<\/p>\n The notice then gives what it calls \u2018Circumstances alleged to constitute the offence\u2019:<\/p>\n \u2018On Monday 6th February 2023, outside MSI Reproductive Choices Clinic (sic), 87 Mattock Lane, Ealing, London W5 5BJ, which is within the Safe Zone as defined in the Public Spaces Protection Order (Mattock Lane Safe Zone) 2018, you did something you were prohibited from doing in a Public Spaces Protection Order, namely 1) protested (i.e. engaged in an act of disapproval) with respect to issues related to abortion services, and (2) displayed text related directly or in directly to the termination of pregnancy.\u2019<\/p>\n There follow some \u2018contemporaneous notes\u2019:<\/p>\n \u2018Further information on the offence are (sic) detailed within the witness statement of Mr Connor DULEA and PC Erhan MUSTAFA, as well as within the CCTV footage from London Borough of Ealing public safety CCTV, Metropolitan Police CCTV and an array of evidence provided by the Defendant and others on social media.\u2019<\/p>\n The reference above to \u2018displayed text\u2019 refers to a scripture on the placard \u2018the Defendant\u2019 was holding in front of the clinic. It said: Stephen Green said today: \u2018I have no intention of paying Ealing\u2019s FPN, either within fourteen days or at all. It will be up to them to decide whether to carry out their threat of \u2018legal proceedings\u2019. If they do, they will have to explain to the court what a Bible verse using pre-natal human development to illustrate the closeness of God has to do with \u2018the termination of pregnancy\u2019. (And what a shocking expression that is.)<\/p>\n In his \u2018Treasury of David\u2019<\/b><\/a> Charles Hadden Spurgeon explains verse 13 of this great psalm. The Almighty one is \u2018the acknowledged lord and possessor of my most secret self\u2019. CH Spurgeon goes on: \u2018Thus the Psalmist describes the intimacy which God had with him. In his most secret part\u2014his reins, and in his most secret condition\u2014yet unborn, he was under the control and guardianship of God.\u2019 (Worth reading in full.)<\/p>\n A key take-away may be that 3,000 years ago, a shepherd-boy and musician who became a king knew quite accurately how, by the grace of God, he had grown in his mother\u2019s womb. Moreover, each of us started that way, and each of us was known by God in that place. If God knows that much about each one of us, then each one of us has a God-given role to play in his kingdom.<\/p>\n The witness outside the Marie Stopes facility was not an act of disapproval of abortion. It was an act of disapproval of buffer zones, timed to take place as the matter of nation-wide buffer zones was being debated in Parliament.<\/p>\n Of course Christian Voice, along with every Christian washed in the blood of the Lord Jesus, disapproves of abortion. The legalisation of the shedding of innocent blood is one of the United Kingdom\u2019s defining sins. The Lord said to Cain, after he had slain his brother Abel:<\/p>\n Gen 4:10 … What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.<\/b><\/p>\n However, the activity in Ealing and the other four days of February\u2019s Buffer Zone Challenge was to do with Christian witness and our freedom to preach the word. In May of this year King Charles will be anointed and crowned king of his realms and territories. He will be presented with the Great Bible, the King James Version held in Westminster Abbey. Are we saying there are verses from that Bible His Majesty may not quote in a part of his kingdom?<\/p>\n More Abortion Buffer Zone Video \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Buffer Zone Challenge Video \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Buffer Zone Challenge Progress \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n The Buffer Zone Challenge \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Abortion Prayer Charges Dropped \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Neh 6:11 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in. Thank God for this opportunity to stand against Ealing Council and the rest of what is now becoming a pro-abortion British establishment.<\/p>\n The Public Order Bill, containing the establishment of buffer zones outside abortion premises all over England and Wales, is set to become law. The Bill was debated in the House of Commons last week and in the House of Lords again only yesterday. The two Houses are now set to agree and the Bill will pass, receive Royal Assent and become an Act of Parliament.<\/p>\n Pray for national repentance. The UK law forbids pro-life activists offering a women a better way. It protects the market of those who shed innocent blood. There will be pressure for a similar law everywhere abortion is legalised.<\/p>\n The legalisation of abortion will now carry with it everywhere a similar assault on freedom of Christian speech. Pray for those countries in the world where abortion is still illegal to stand firm. Pray for the Lord to raise up a vibrant Christian witness in every land.<\/p>\n We appreciate your support; it enables our research and helps us inform your prayers.
