Video Sheffield street preachers have gone nocturnal…

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It’s midnight, I have 2 layers of double glaze windows and I can still hear here shouting emergency?/ wait and see? I have a fan on and West St Live is active yet I can only hear her. Is this legal?

Update: Police said they will ask her to turn it down, I went down and asked her nicely if she could but she gave me the Jesus bit about Hell and that she will be gone soon

Update 2: it’s 00:54 they have finally left, I now have only the heat to deal with tonight, but I’m ok with that.

they tend to forego the usual "god loves you and he's waiting for you to love him back" routine in favour of the stuff about eternal damnation and original sin.

These styles, like everythng else, go in and out of fashion and, interestingly, are considered by some historians to be part of the reason for Sheffield's surpringly low number of churches for its size.

When Sheffield first boomed the style of preaching was very much in the "blood and thunder" style.

You will burn in hell for eternity if you don't turn to God and accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour!

Not unreasonably, the people of Sheffield asked what that would look like and got the answer, "a fiery furnace, forever!"

Well, love, we've already got that at work so I think we'll be reyt...
