Ohio Township Says Churches Can Use Park Amphitheater

Miami Township, Ohio trustees have adopted a policy making it clear that churches can use its park amphitheater on the same basis as other non-profit groups. Today's Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the township decided it need a clear policy after the Clermont County (OH) public library was sued for barring use of its meeting rooms for religious events. (See prior posting.) Milford Assembly of God will be the first church to use the amphitheater when its band performs contemporary Christian music at a July 20 service.
