Lower Moreland Pastor Arrested During Protest

Lower Moreland Pastor, Bill Devlin, was arrested during a protest of same-sex marriage.

A Lower Moreland pastor was arrested in Harrisburg while protesting Attorney General Kathleen Kane's stance on gay marriage, according to a report on Philly.com.

According to a article, Pastor Bill Devlin went into the building to pray for Kane, but was not allowed, by the security, to enter the elevators. However, he knelt in front of the elevators to pray and as he did, the elevator doors opened and "he crawled inside."

Kane supports gay marriage, but said "she could not ethically defend the state against a federal lawsuit seeking to over turn Pennsylvania's ban on same-sex marriage."
