Town Denies Church Permission for Nativity Scene

Members of the First Parish Church in Manchester-by-the-Sea (MA) planned to present a play on Christmas eve, having a nativity scene with people playing the roles of Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus.

Unfortunately, town leaders this week denied permission of church members to take part in this play. The problem, the town said, is that the church is located very close to public property.

Excuse me, but what is wrong with having a Christmas play on public property? Isn't the play available for everyone in the town to see? Or, is this just another example of secularism prevailing over Christianity because of our selfish-oriented society?

We would like to know what you think about this situation. Please feel free to comment on it.
