street preaching
Public religious oratory
Street preaching is the practice of publicly proclaiming religious messages in outdoor spaces—sidewalks, parks, town squares.
The street preacher typically addresses passersby who haven't sought out the message, distinguishing it from indoor worship.
The practice ranges from quiet testimony to amplified hellfire sermons: A street preacher on the corner warned shoppers about the end times.
