For some time, religious and other organizations have been feeding homeless people at outdoor sites in Philadelphia. Citing public health and other concerns, the city banned the practice. The religious organizations have challenged the ban, claiming that it violates their (and their members’) First Amendment free exercise rights (“What they will not compromise on, however, is what they described as a God-directed mission to minister to the needs of homeless people where they live - on the parkway.”) Yesterday testimony concluded, and oral argument will now take place. Enforcement of the ban has been stayed pending the litigation. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/20120710_Nutter__Ban_on_feeding_part_of_plan_to_end_homelessness.html Jim Maule Professor of Law Villanova University School of Law ma...@law.villanova.edu<mailto:ma...@law.villanova.edu> http://vls.law.villanova.edu/prof/maule _______________________________________________ To post, send message to Religionlaw@lists.ucla.edu<mailto:Religionlaw@lists.ucla.edu> To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/religionlaw Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.
