The former Vicar of Rochdale is facing court after taking part in an environmental protest which blocked the M25.
Rev Mark Coleman, 63, was among dozens of activists who staged a roadblock on the motorway on September 27 last year. Some of the protesters glued themselves to the tarmac and barriers on a slip road at junction 14 near Heathrow at the height of the Monday morning rush-hour.
The demonstration, part of a campaign by Insulate Britain to tackle fuel poverty and reduce the UK's carbon dioxide emissions, lasted at least 90 minutes before the protesters were taken away by police. Mr Coleman has been charged with causing a public nuisance and, if found guilty, could face an unlimited fine or a jail term.
