Street Pastors have arrived in Manchester: 14 of them, clad in distinctive blue jackets and baseball caps. With evangelical Christian fervour, they believe they can play a vital role in building bridges between the young and disenfranchised and so rebuild communities and reduce crime.
Pastors will work at weekends from 10pm to 4am and, according to the press release, "are trained in many areas including conflict resolution, counselling skills, drug awareness, and social historic development".
(What is social historic development and how do you discuss it with someone who has just fallen out of a club on Whitworth Street at 2am on a Saturday night/Sunday morning?)
The team comes from very different backgrounds and includes a business manager, a receptionist and a chef.
Candace James, street pastor and single mother, said: "I live on what many people would describe as a dangerous estate. I've had first hand experience of the fear gangs instill into communities.
"Yes, I am aware of the dangers and I don't relish being out on the streets late at night, but the opportunity to reach the marginalised in our society with the love of God makes the risks worthwhile. I believe every gang member that I've met has within them a heart of gold. I want to build relationships of trust with them and show them love and respect."

Fantastic. The streets of Manchester will be devout within a week then, as I assume Light meant they could convert them all in that time.
*removes REALLY bad comment that would result in banning again*

yes
What is this, some sort of Crack Evangelical Suicide Squad, sent by the Lord?
And if any groups as Stop Welsh Hunting United form, they shall be sacrificed.
