I grew up in the Methodist tradition too, and I never saw someone preachingCaroline:
outside until I was well into my twenties. This is sad, because Jesus did
it, the apostles did it, it is in the Bible, and it is found in the
tradition of the Methodists, Salvation Army, Puritans, and even in the
history of evangelists like Billy Graham.
It's not the preaching outside that I object to. It's the yelling at people and insulting them that I object to. This is not dialogue or apologetics; it's bullying. I can't imagine Jesus screaming "whore" and "harlot" at Samaritan women. Something is very wrong here and as a Christian, I protest. I do not agree with Mormon beliefs but I have enormous respect for all those who endured the persecution with grace and dignity. As a Christian, I would like to apologize to all the Mormons here who were screamed at and insulted. Not all Christians are like that and not all Street Preachers are like that. I hope you'll give us another chance to explain our beliefs.
