Franklin Graham event cancelled in Liverpool

Franklin Graham's appearance is cancelled due to Graham's teachings being "incompatible" with the venue's values.

On Sunday, ACC Liverpool announced that Graham will no longer be speaking at their center this June during The Graham Tour UK.

This decision came after ACC Liverpool was "made aware of a number of statements" made by Graham that they disagreed with. 

ACC Liverpool did not reveal the statements made, but in their own statement, they said they were conscious of the "balance between freedom of speech and the divisive impact" of the event.

The Graham Tour UK event which was originally planned to take place at ACC Liverpool in June 2020 will no longer be going ahead.
