UK’s The Mirror is reporting that a Norfolk church is at the centre of a hate crime investigation after putting up a poster suggesting non-believers will burn in hell.
Police say Pastor John Rose agreed to take the sign down after being spoken to by officers.
A Norfolk Police spokesman said: “Norfolk Constabulary received a report regarding a poster outside a church which was deemed offensive by the complainant.
“National guidance required us to investigate the circumstances and the matter has been recorded as a hate incident.”
The Rev Simon Ward, of the Diocese of Norwich, said: “I guess they are trying to open a conversation and cause people to think.
“However, I think there are more positive conversations that you could have and more positive reasons for coming to church.”
