Gloucester Council apologises to Christian group
Gloucester City Council has apologised after it stopped a Christian group from handing out Christian literature in the city centre.
The group were handing out tracts in the centre of Gloucester last month.
They were told by council staff that the hand outs breached the city’s by-laws.
The group was made up of Christians from 10 local churches who were distributing the tracts as part of Bible Day Gloucester.

When luggage goes missing at the Olympics
When Madagascan Olympic athletes, team officials and families landed at Luton with no luggage, it was the churches that sprang to their aid.
The international travellers, who arrived over two consecutive days, had expected their 26 bags to automatically follow when transferring from Paris. But they ended up with their carry-on bags and no more.
However, on hand were representatives from More Than Gold, an agency helping churches serve others through the 2012 Games. At the airport they helped the distressed visitors with all the negotiations needed to locate their bags.
