At-home Bible studies outlawed in Arizona city

The Underground: “In November 2009, city officials in Gilbert, Arizona sent a ‘cease and desist’ order to a pastor and his wife holding small group Bible studies in their home . . . This month, attorneys from the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) filed an appeal on behalf of the church group . . . The Oasis of Truth Church Web site now states that the City of Gilbert’s Mayor and City Manager recently attended a Sunday service, apologized and hope to revise the code soon.”
