Court OKs After-Hr. Rel. Meetings in NYC Schools; Orders Permanent Injunction Against NYC's Policy

The One News Now website reports that a court today (June 29, 2012) ordered a permanent injunction against a New York City policy prohibiting churches from meeting on school property after school hours.

Today's decision by the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York means worship services will continue at NYC schools.

A preliminary injunction against the prohibition was ordered last February.

Alliance Defense Fund attorney Jordan Lorence says with today's ruling, "churches that have been helping communities for years can continue to offer the hope that empty buildings can't."
