Second religious use policy falls City of Richmond responds positively to ADF letter
RICHMOND, Calif. — The city of Richmond has agreed to eliminate its ban on religious and church activities in its community centers after receiving a letter from ADF attorneys urging the city to cease the implementation and enforcement of its unconstitutional policy. ADF attorneys sent a letter to the mayor on behalf of Pastor Ralph Lopez after he was told by a city official that he could not rent the city’s community center for a Bible study because of a policy forbidding religious uses of the facility.
