A pastor and his wife have been notified by San Diego county officials that they need a permit to hold a prayer meeting in their home.
“The county asked, ‘Do you have a regular meeting in your home?’ She said, ‘Yes.’ ‘Do you say amen?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Do you pray?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Do you say praise the Lord?’ ‘Yes.’”The county employee notified the couple that the small Bible study, with an average of 15 people attending, was in violation of County regulations, according to Broyles.
This is one of those stories that leave me thinking that there must be something else going on. Could any bureaucrat have the temerity to so blatantly violate the 1st Amendment?
