Brawl outside church after priest raised safety concerns

When Father Martin Saunders moved the time of his evening service at St Dunstan's Church, because he said it wasn't safe for parishioners, local politicians accused him of overreacting.

But the Manchester Evening News has reported a mass brawl outside the church on Halloween.

The newspaper says police had to break up the incident last Friday night but no further action will be taken against those involved.

Last month the priest changed his mass time because the streets were 'too dangerous'.

But Manchester Central MP Lucy Powell and Harpurhey councillor Pat Karney said the claim was 'overblown'.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
