ST. LOUIS — The city of St. Louis has agreed to scrap a problematic literature distribution policy after a federal court ordered the city to stop enforcing it as part of a lawsuit filed by an Alliance Defense Fund allied attorney. The policy was used to prohibit members of a Christian ministry from distributing literature and speaking about their religious viewpoint at an annual “PrideFest” event that celebrates homosexual behavior. The ministry filed a voluntary dismissal of its lawsuit Wednesday after reaching an agreement with the city. Case Name: Apple of His Eye v. City of St. Louis Full news release, quotes, and related media resources available at the following link: http://www.adfmedia.org/News/PRDetail/3275 ADF is a legal alliance of Christian attorneys and like-minded organizations defending the right of people to freely live out their faith.
