A retired Baptist minister has been criminally convicted for preaching the Gospel near a Northern Ireland hospital that performs abortions.
Pastor Clive Johnston, 78, a former president of the Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland, was found guilty on May 7 at Coleraine Magistrates’ Court on two charges under Northern Ireland’s Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act 2023 for preaching on John 3:16 near the abortion buffer zone located outside of Causeway Hospital.
Pastor Johnston must pay a fine of £450 (approximately $600) and now has an official criminal record, according to The Christian Institute, which has supported his legal defense.
