I Am Jesus Christ gives gamers the chance to perform over 30 miracles from a first-person perspective, including healing the blind, casting out demons and calming the seas as they follow his life on earth from baptism to ascension.

Each miracle completed is accompanied by a scripture linking to the New Testament story it refers to.

Players can also pray to receive the “superpower” of the Holy Spirit, “battle Satan” in the desert and rise from the dead in the biblical simulation game by unknown developer SimulaM.

A trailer for the new game was shared by entertainment site IGN on Friday.

Dale McAlpine was arrested in Kendal town centre last year and held for questioning at Kendal Police Station.

After being released without bail, McAlpine waited six months for police to inform him he would not be prosecuted.

The Christian Institute has called the incident “a gross overreaction from the police” and supported McAlpine in a claim for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment.

Cumbria Police has opted to settle the claim out of court.

McAlpine, who has been street preaching across the UK for 14 years said: “I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and His message of salvation and I want everyone to hear about it.

“I took this legal action to help the police realise you cannot arrest people just for preaching the Gospel.”

The Christian Institute has dubbed the recent pay out a “positive outcome for Christians across the country”.

Simon Calvert, Deputy Director for Public Affairs said: “Our country has a rich heritage of free speech, for preachers and for everybody else.

“This needs cherishing and protecting and that requires the police to actively train their officers to stand up for free speech, including speech they don’t like, or that is unfashionable.”

The preacher has been involved in a number of similar cases in which he has been arrested and detained for preaching.

Following one incident in Workington town centre in 2010, McAlpine was awarded £7,000 for…

Scotland Yard said the teenager was charged with robbery and assault on police after an incident on Kings Road in Chelsea.

Jenkins was on her way to a rehearsal on Wednesday afternoon when she witnessed an elderly woman being attacked.

After she stepped in to help, the singer was then mugged herself, her agent said.

The Welsh mezzo-soprano was in London to sing at the Henry van Straubenzee charity carol concert at St Luke’s Church in Chelsea.

“Miraculously, Katherine still managed to perform at the concert as she didn’t want to let the charity down,” her agent added.

The Met said police were called to reports of a robbery on Kings Road in Chelsea at about 3.10pm on December 4.

Officers attended the incident and arrested two 15-year-old girls on suspicion of robbery, a police spokesperson said.

“A female member of the public had attempted to intervene,” the spokeswoman added.

An officer was assaulted during the incident but did not require hospital treatment.

The two girls were released under investigation, with the 15-year-old re-arrested on December 5 in connection with the same incident after further information was received.

In a statement, Jenkins’ agent said: “Katherine was in London to sing at the Henry van Straubenzee memorial charity carol concert at St Luke’s Church.

“On her way to rehearsal she witnessed an older lady being viciously mugged and intervened to…

The porcelain figure was swiped by thieves earlier this week.

“Heartbroken” SA ministers have launched a twitter campaign with the hashtag #FindJesus in the hope that the “centre piece to Christmas” will reappear in time for the “big day.”

Can you help find Jesus this Christmas? We’re sad to report that a Baby Jesus figurine was stolen from a nativity set in our @shops_sa in Peterborough which helps vulnerable people.

The Long Causeway shop has fallen victim to a number of “unseasonal” criminal attacks since its opening in April 2019.

In a previous incident vandals caused some £1,000 of damage after breaking into the store and smashing the cashier till.

The thief made away with just £1 found in the charity’s collection tin.

It comes as the church and charity prepares for its busiest season supporting the poor and vulnerable over the Christmas period.

Peterborough Salvation Army minister Major Gary Chaundy said: “It’s heart breaking that someone would steal the centre piece to Christmas especially when our faith in Jesus is the reason we feel called to serve our community through this shop.

“All we’ve been left with is a virtually worthless nativity – no-one wants to buy a set without the most important person in it.

“We just…

St Lucy was martyred for her Christianity in Sicily in the fourth century, and in northern Europe her festival celebrates the bringing of light during the darkness of winter.

The Chorus Pictor and Friends provided the music while one of its members – Matilda Bergstrom – led the procession through the nave representing St Lucy.

She wore a crown of candles to symbolise a halo.

The choir wore red sashes over their robes to symbolise the martyr’s blood.

A pastor unwittingly poured petrol over a parishioner, who was set alight by a nearby church candle at the Gloryland Estate on the outskirts of Lagos on Thursday morning.

“The pastor picked a keg believing it contained water not knowing it was filled with petrol,” said Ibrahim Farinloye of the National Emergency Management Agency.

“In the process of emptying the contents on the man, a lit candle nearby sparked fire that engulfed both of them,” Farinloye told AFP.

The body of a man “burned beyond recognition” has been recovered, while the pastor sustained severe burns.

The blaze which started in the Baruwa area spread to nearby oil pipelines causing an explosion which killed a further five people.

Vandals are said to have damaged the pipe prior to the explosion whilst siphoning them for fuel.

Operations are currently under way to extinguish the pipeline blaze, according to Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, head of Lagos state emergency service LASEMA.

‘We are responding quickly to put out the fire. Only one body has been recovered, while the other person who was injured is receiving treatment,’ he added.
