Canadian Pastor Arrested Again
[Christian Persecution]
June 16, 2021
(FW) The pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Southeast Calgary has been arrested for holding church services and “flouting” pandemic health orders, despite only 951 reported cases across all Canada [Monday].
Disturbing footage of Pastor Tim Stephens being hauled into a police cruiser as his horrified children looked on, sobbing uncontrollably, circulated on the internet [Monday].
“You had that gathering on June 6th, so that’s what you’re under arrest for,” an officer can be heard saying as a child sobs in the background. “Bye, daddy!” one of his children can be heard saying as he’s placed inside the SUV.
Apparently, the arrest was put into motion by “repeated calls from concerned citizens regarding church services,” according to reports from Canadian media.
