FOCUS ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
From Catholics for Freedom of Religion
www.cffor.org Pennsylvania residents, Scott & Theresa Fetterolf, were ordered by government officials to stop using
their 35-acre farm to host Bible studies and other Christian gatherings or pay $500 per day in
fines. Since 2003, the property was used for these gatherings, carrying on a decades old practice held by the
previous owner.
In October, the city decided that the farm violated a zoning ordinance that states a "place of worship or assem-
bly" must apply for a permit and issued a "Notice of Violation/Cease and Desist Order." However, other prop-
erties that host secular counterparts to these activities like parties, political fundraisers, and book clubs are not
banned.
"Government should not target religious activities for punishment, particularly when similar secular activities
are permitted," said Senior Counsel for the Independent Law Center. "In America, no government can cate-
gorically ban people from assembling to worship on one's own property." The lawsuit states that "There is no compelling interest in prohibiting Bible studies, meetings where religious
songs are sung, religious retreats/fellowship, and religious fundraisers, especially when secular counterparts of
these activities are permitted."
Pastor & Wife Ordered to Stop Bible Studies in their Apartment. A semi-retired Lutheran pastor and
his wife, both in their mid-80s, were ordered by their Virginia apartment complex to stop holding Bible
studies or face eviction. In 2017, residents asked Pastor Hauges to lead a Bible study in the complex to which
he agreed and applied to reserve the community room for the study. But in 2018, other residents attempted to
interfere with the Bible study and the management outlawed religious activities in the community room and
any private apartment, labeling this study a "business."
First Liberty law firm is now representing the pastor who has agreed to stop leading the Bible studies until the
matter is resolved.
"Evicting elderly residents from their home for holding a Bible Study is not only outrageous, it's illegal,"
said counsel for First Liberty. "It's frightening that a management company would use the threat of
eviction to stop residents from meeting together to discuss any issue, let alone their faith." pafamily.org, 7/18/18; christiannews.net, 7/20/18; citizensgo.org, 7/27/18; theblaze.com, 8/24/18)
