US evangelist stopped from preaching in Kerala

Thiruvananthapuram: An American evangelist, who was on a visit to here on a business visa, was restrained by police from preaching at a church convention near here.

Evangelist David Terrel had arrived here a few days back on an invitation from the Church of South India to preach at the annual convention at Amaravila near here.

Police, however, restricted Terrel from addressing the religious meet on the ground that he was not supposed to evangelise while on a visit on a business or tourist visa.

“Terrel and his companion were told that if they carried out evangelical activities it would amount to violation of visa conditions. They followed our instruction and kept off the convention,” a police official said.

The Hindu Aikyavedi unit at Neyyattinkara had lodged a complaint with police about the possibility of Terrel preaching at the religious convention
