News 3: Evangelist Removed From Flight After Preaching During Delay
American evangelist Whitney Lynn was removed from an Alaska Airlines flight travelling from Orlando to San Diego after standing to preach to passengers during a departure delay.
Lynn told passengers that God’s timing was perfect, shared the Gospel and prayed for the flight’s protection. Alaska Airlines said the crew had become concerned about her behaviour and its effect on other passengers, leading to her removal for safety reasons.
Public reaction has been divided. Supporters praised her boldness, while critics argued that passengers in a confined aircraft should not be made an involuntary audience.
