Supreme Court dismisses appeal on use of N.Y. schools for worship | Digital Journal

Digital Journal: Jordan Lorence of the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal organization defending the Bronx Household of Faith church, has described the Supreme Court’s dismissal of the appeal as “befuddling.” He said: “The Supreme Court’s decision not to review this case is befuddling because it has already ruled multiple times in other equal-access cases that the First Amendment protects religious worship the same as secular speech.” The Wall Street Journal reports that he said, “Churches and other religious groups should be able to meet in public buildings on the same terms as other community groups. They should not be excluded simply because of the religious nature of their speech.”
