Rockdale County is allegedly discriminating against a Georgia church, effectively forcing it underground.
Rockdale County refused the small church access to several properties for its
worship services
because the properties are less than three acres. The restriction does
not apply to non-religious groups. The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) has
filed a lawsuit.
“Government officials should not use zoning
restrictions to close down religious services of small, start-up
churches,” says ADF Senior legal counsel Erik Stanley. “Not only is it
irresponsible to target small ministries dedicated to serving the
community, it’s unconstitutional and violates federal law.”
