Arizon Town Bans BIble Meetings in Private Homes

Full Article Here

While non-religious secular clubs and everyday homeowners who like to host large parties are welcome to do as they please in Gilbert Arizona, Christians and other religious groups have been singled out and are prohibited under penalty of law from holding church meetings, Bible study, or having any activity of any size in private homes.

Despite protest and appeals to the zoning board, the town refuses to back down and is contending under its zoning code, churches within its borders cannot have any home meetings of any size, including Bible studies, three-person church leadership meetings, or potluck dinners.

The town continues to defend its ban based on claims it creates traffic, parking, and building safety concerns. But the City has no traffic or building concerns with Cub Scout meetings, Football parties or even large business and social events held on a regular basis and even explicitly makes provisions for day care to operate in private homes it’s just the odd gathering of Christians that seem to bring out a sense of persnickety in the city elders.

Let's review, just to make sure things are clear, shall we?
