TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- After a traveling evangelist stood Wednesday at the University of Alabama's student center and called passersby sinners, several UA students engaged the man in what quickly devolved into a theological screaming match.

The crowd tightened around Skelly and the students as debate often devolved into a screaming match, though Skelly eventually walked away before setting up shop at another area in the plaza.

UA police were on hand but said they couldn't do anything about the scene as Skelly and his colleagues "weren't breaking any laws."

Though the University has been known to remove protesters or shut down events on campus in recent history, UA spokesperson Cathy Andreen said PinPoint "contacted the University in advance and provided information about their planned visit."

According to PinPoint's online calendar, they will be on campus at UAB Thursday before traveling to the Masters Tournament Friday.
