Officials of a city in greater Los Angeles area confirmed yesterday (March 30, 2010) that they have rescinded the order for a home Bible study group to either obtain a permit or shut down, according to the Christian Post website.
After talking to the pastor of Shiloh Tabernacle Church, the city officials of Rancho Cucamonga determined that the Friday meetings are only Bible studies, and that the group is not operating as a church in a home.
In an earlier letter, the city had ordered the Bible study group -- which the city referred to as a "church" -- obtain an expensive Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by Good Friday, April 2, or shut down.
Pacific Justice Institute -- the Bible group's legal representative -- threatened to take the city to court if it did not rescind its letter.
