NY Church Fights to Hold Services at School | CBN.comCBN.com: Alliance Defense Fund attorney Jordan Lorence represents the church, which has has been meeting at “Public School #15″ since 2002. “This is not government sponsorship of religion,” Lorence told CBN News. “This is merely government accommodating one group, a religious group, among many community groups that meet.” “We are arguing that based on important precedence that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled five times at least since 1981 that religious groups, private religious groups seeking access to meet in a building, have to be treated the same as the non-religious private groups,” he explained. “All we are asking for is equal access,” he said. |
