Excerpt:
A Christian missionary who preaches the Gospel message in public places across the nation says officers from the University of Pennsylvania illegally arrested him and tampered with evidence about their actions during a preaching mission on public walks in front a Philadelphia mosque.
The accusations come from Michael Marcavage of Repent America, who along with another Christian was arrested by university officers while preaching and speaking in front of the Masjid al-Jamia mosque in Philadelphia over the 4th of July holiday weekend.
According to a report from Repent America, Marcavage was with evangelists Ken Fleck and Mike Stockwell of Cross Country Evangelism on a mission on the walks outside the mosque.
"Upon arrival, they sang a hymn and began their outreach activities of open-air preaching and witnessing to the Muslims on the public sidewalk that were leaving the building," the organization said. "However, as they ministered, the evangelists were soon approached by a security officer from the University of Pennsylvania who told them that they could not preach on the public sidewalk outside of the mosque. When Marcavage stated that they were not leaving, the security officer radioed university police.
