Penn. Minister fights Brookville zoning to let homeless live in his church
The Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports:
The Rev. Jack L. Wisor said the Bible supports his ministry of providing the homeless with shelter and other assistance in his First Apostles Doctrine Church in Brookville . . .
But Brookville borough solicitor Stephen French countered that the Good Book notwithstanding, the municipality’s book of zoning codes prohibits using the church as a homeless shelter because it’s in a commercial district.
