California’s Ban on ‘In-Home Bible Studies’ Sparks Lawsuit by Church

July 21, 2020 by Staff

(Christian Headlines) A California church filed a federal lawsuit Saturday challenging the state’s restrictions on houses of worship, including what the suit says is a ban on “in-home Bible studies.”

At issue are prohibitions by Gov. Gavin Newsom and state officials on “in-person religious gatherings” in 30 counties, as well as bans on corporate singing statewide.
