Bob Unruh and the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission plan to mount a publicity stunt, er, legal challenge to the recently passed Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act by preaching from the Bible outside of the Justice Department:

At the rally, set for 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 16, ministers will preach from the Bible on the prohibition against homosexuality, then will present a letter to Holder demanding that the religious liberty of all Americans be respected.

...

"We're basically going to defy the law, and challenge it," [Gary] Cass told WND. "We're going to declare the whole counsel of God, including those parts that some may consider 'inciting a hate crime' to see if the attorney general is going to come down and arrest a group of peaceful clergy exercising their First Amendment rights."

No provision of the hate crimes law in question would prohibit Unruh and Cass from praying or preaching in public. No provision of any federal law would prohibit them from praying or preaching in public. The hate crimes law stiffens criminal penalties for anyone who physically assaults or murders someone because of their sexual identity. It does not target speech.

Unruh and Cass are well within their rights to protest whatever they please - they just shouldn't be surprised when the Thought Police don't haul them away.
