MARCAVAGE FOUND “GUILTY” FOR PREACHING
ON SIDEWALK NEAR THE LIBERTY BELL 06/14/08

PHILADELPHIA - On Friday, June 13, 2008 in the case of United States of America vs. Michael A. Marcavage, U.S. Magistrate Judge Arnold C. Rapoport found Repent America (RA) director Michael Marcavage “guilty” for preaching to those waiting in line to see the Liberty Bell.

Marcavage had been arrested by the National Park Service in October of last year for continuing to preach on public property after refusing to move to a so-called “free speech zone,” and then charged under the Code of Federal Regulations.

During Repent America’s annual pro-life evangelism tour on October 6, 2007, RA was reaching out to those visiting the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall with the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ as park rangers continuously harassed the ministry team for refusing to relocate to a “free speech zone”. While preaching against America’s toleration of abortion and on repentance from sin to those waiting in line at the Liberty Bell Center at Independence National Historical Park, Marcavage was arrested on the public sidewalk just outside the building that houses the bell.
