The World Net Daily website reports today (September 17, 2011) that officials in the city of San Juan Capistrano, California have fined a couple $300 for holding a Bible study in their home.
Chuck and Stephanie Fromm face the potential for additional fines of $500 for each study held, according to a legal team taking their case to court.
City officials say a city code prohibits religious organizations in residential neighborhoods without a conditional-use permit -- a very expensive procedure.
Brad Dacus -- president of Pacific Justice Institute, which is working on the case on behalf of the Fromms -- said, "We cannot allow this to happen in America, and we will fight as long and as hard as it takes to restore this group's religious freedom."
