PA Couple Fined for Using Farm for Bible Study; Appeal Cease-and-Desist Order to Federal Court

A couple in Pennsylvania has been served a cease-and-desist order for using their 32-acre farm for private prayer groups, the Christian Headlines website reports today (August 14, 2018).

Scott and Terri Fetterolf received the order after the Borough of Sewickley Heights in Pennsylvania claimed the farm "was being used improperly as a place of worship, a place of assembly, and as a commercial venue and 'special studio or school.'"

The borough is charging $500 for each permit if the couple wants to continue hosting activities at their farm.

The couple has filed an appeal to the cease-and-desist order and is waiting to hear a decision from a federal court.
