Vine and Branches, a campus ministry group, partnered with Common Ground and LBGTQ services to provide a safe place away from the protest. The group served iced coffee and a positive atmosphere.

Along with coffee, the organization trying to promote peace and negate the influence of the preachers, brought along a dog. The dog was a mix breed of German Shepard, Siberian Husky and Labrador Retriever.

Vine and Branches, Common Ground and LBGTQ Programs and Services were set up in the other amphitheater, beside Steely Library. Students enjoyed iced coffee, dogs and sunshine on the spring afternoon.

The duo carried signs calling for repentance. They believe that resistance to their protest stems from people unwilling to change or accept their version of Christianity.

Street preachers are common characters on college campuses. Annually, especially as the weather warms, they visit NKU.

Several students viewed the protest and fought back. The protest took place throughout the afternoon.

Toting signs with messages of condemnation, two street preachers spouted their message on campus April 20. The duo was set up in the amphitheater overlooking Loch Norse.
