The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) argued that parts of the Bible are “abusive” and “no longer appropriate in modern society” in a now-dropped prosecution against a British street preacher.

John Dunn, 55, was preaching in Swindon, southwest England, in November 2020 when two women walked past holding hands and he said, “I hope you are sisters.” They replied that they were in a same-sex marriage.
