Settlement Reached In Church's Use of Pensacola FL Park

Alliance Defense Fund yesterday announced that a settlement has been reached in the lawsuit brought against the city of Pensacola, Florida by St. Faustina Old Catholic Church challenging restrictions on use of a downtown park for a weekly picnic by a Bible study group that shared its food with the hungry. (See prior posting.) Apparently under the settlement, the church will be allowed to hold picnics in the park during summer months, but concern about preserving park grass has led to a ban on use by large groups during the winter.
