"A California couple has been fined by the city of San Juan Capistrano for holding Bible studies and religious gatherings in their home, which has some wondering about the future of religious freedom in America.Chuck and Stephanie Fromm, residents of San Juan Capistrano, home to the oldest church in California, were fined $300 for the religious activities, which the city said violated a municipal code that prohibits “religious, fraternal or non-profit” organizations in residential neighborhoods without a conditional-use permit,” the Capistrano Dispatch reported.Chuck Fromm is publisher of Worship Leader Magazine, a Christian music resource that combines biblical wisdom and best practices for worship, and provides added educational and congregational resources through its associated educational services, according to its website. However, the Fromms insist that their weekly meetings are not affiliated with a church, nor are they seeking to establish a church."
I read that yesterday. Seems like thisn is always happening in fricken California! Oh and as for that wondering part? Wha...? Not paying attention are ya?!
Am I to believe that not one of these organizations has not had a unpermitted meeting?http://www.sanjuancapistrano.org/index.aspx?page=374

The article said municipal code enforcement was "reactive", which means someone btched.I'll bet you dollars to donuts the issue really comes down to parking.
