A 71-year-old pastor of a north London church was arrested on April 23 under the city's Public Order Act for allegedly making 'homophobic comments' during a public sermon, video shows.

"It is a venue we've been to, and the people are quite used to us being there, and usually the police pass by or just nod in approval sometimes," Sherwood toldpodcast Thursday."There must have been some complaints for the police to actually have come there in the first place. They came up and spoke to me and I was preaching at the time so I said, 'please don't disturb me because I'm preaching the gospel which is my lawful right to do.

Sherwood later told local news outlets that he was released without being charged and he maintains that he did nothing wrong.

Preach Pastor, bring back the fear of GOD to the masses. GOD saw that the man was alone and said, will make him a helper fit for him. And HE created a woman. GEN 2:18

Nice see that’s a good church get that hate monger out !!!!

It doesn't matter if he said them or not what matters is that he has been accused, just like Anne Boleyn. If he did then he is being arrested for hurting some ones feelings. What fools these mortals be.

Here comes 21st century Nazi fascism. If that's his belief so be it.

So they can do that to Christians and Catholics but when people question any other religious base we are “phobic”....

So it go in an ungodly society

This seems like a big overreach of the law

Persecution is rife.

Free speech?

Well it’s the UK...no civil liberties, no rights...And it’s been that way since like..the Middle Ages.

The word of God is unequivocally clear. Marriage is between a man and woman. This is religious persecution.

Christians screaming about being 'persecuted' in 3-2-1.....

What utter bulldust!

This fool has been watch to much of the handmaids tail!

Thomas Becket deja vu
