Telegraph: Phyllip Cadwallader, 43, had called in to light a candle in memory of his late mother before competing in a running race.
He was dressed in a shirt, trousers and pair of brogues, but aroused attention because of he has a shaven head, tattoos and was carrying a bag.
BBC Radio 4 was about to start its Sunday worship programme marking the 80th anniversary of the birth of Anne Frank who died in a Nazi concentration camp at the age of 15.
Mr Cadwallader, a former autism support worker, was initially told to sit at the back of Blackburn Cathedral, before being told to leave by the Dean.
After he left, he was approached by police who had been called over suspicions that he was a sympathiser of the far-right BNP.
An officer searched his rucksack, which contained his running gear, before he was allowed to go and take part in his race.
