The commissary at Highfield Road Gospel Hall must have been fresh out of mind-your-own-business last night, because nine of God's hand-picked mouthpieces allegedly found themselves outside of the home of a Leslieville gay couple, praying for the men's unsolicited salvation.

Residents of the Dundas and Greenwood area stepped up in support of the unidentified targets, asking the holy rollers to move on and leave the neighbourhood in peace.

"We have an authority to preach the gospel," claims one worshiper in a video clip captured by nearby resident Geoffrey Skelding. "We've been doing this seven years."

Though the church members didn't explicitly admit that they had chosen that particular house because it housed a gay couple, Skelding says that many street residents are convinced that's the reason, especially based on the church group's history of door-to-door evangelism on the street.

"Talking with my neighbours, I learned that a lesbian couple left the area because of this group," Skelding told Torontoist. "They do come to the area and knock on doors and tell people they are sinners."

Highfield Road Gospel Hall welcomes your calls of support at 416-288-0389.

By Geoffrey Skelding(Toronto,Canada) August 22 | This is a group from a church at the end of my street. Apparently they have been grouping in front of a couple's house and reading their bible loudly for the past 7 years. They may have also driven another couple from the area as well by doing the same thing. Tonight most of our neighbours came out and were successful in getting them to leave. The people who go to that church don't even live in our area! Police came by shortly thereafter.

Neighbourhood comes together and kicks out religious haters:

... that I'll be making that call (NOT)!

I have to wonder just how I missed this one; being, LOL, as it is sorta right in my back-yard.

I will be asking questions directed at Metropolitan City Councillors, local Media and The Metropolitan Toronto Police Department about why this is being allowed to happen at all.

I wonder if dousing them on holy water next time they arrive would be seen as brotherly love and concern for their souls.

No-one has ever specified how much holy water is 'enough'.
