Repeat offender: Ga. county sued again, unlawfully denies another church’s right to build ADF attorneys file second suit against Coweta County this year for prohibiting new church building
NEWNAN, Ga. — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed their second lawsuit of the year against Coweta County Wednesday for unlawfully blocking another church’s right to build on its own property despite prior recommendations for approval. In the most recent case, the county board of commissioners denied Holiness Is the Way Ministries a conditional use permit even though the county planner and the board of zoning appeals had already recommended approval of the permit to build a place of worship. The refusal comes despite the county’s issuance of conditional use permits to 13 other churches over the past four years. Case Name: Holiness Is the Way Ministries v. Coweta County Full news release, quotes, and related media resources available at the following link: http://www.adfmedia.org/News/PRDetail/4720 ADF is a legal alliance of Christian attorneys and like-minded organizations defending the right of people to freely live out their faith.
