Preliminary Injunction In Church Challenge To Rec Area Fees

Alliance Defense Fund reports that yesterday a San Diego, California federal district court issued a preliminary injunction (full text of order) in a suit challenging the policy of the city of San Diego in charging higher rentals to religious groups for their use of the Kearney Mesa Recreation Area that it charges secular community groups. (See prior postings 1, 2.) The injunction will require the city to charge Canyon Ridge Baptist Church the lower Community Group rate until the merits of the church’s claims are decided by the court.
