Supreme Court to decide if cities can require permits for prayer at home
A small Jewish prayer gathering in a Cleveland suburb sparked a years-long fight over whether a homeowner needed city permission to host religious meetings, and the U.S. Supreme Court will now consider the case.
A dispute that began with a small Jewish prayer gathering in a Cleveland suburb is now headed to the U.S. Supreme Court, where the justices are set to consider a case that could reshape how religious organizations challenge local zoning laws and government permitting requirements. The case stems from a years-long legal battle between University Heights resident Daniel Grand and city officials over whether he needed permission to host religious gatherings in his home, according to CNN.
