Ohio Pastor's Legal Battle to Shelter Homeless Sparks Controversy

Dad's Place church in Ohio filed a federal lawsuit after its pastor was charged with violating city ordinances for opening the sanctuary around the clock as a shelter for homeless people, alleging that city leaders are trying to push the ministry out of town. The church seeks a restraining order or injunction to prevent the city from enforcing the ordinances, claiming violations of constitutional rights to free exercise of religion and protections against government hostility to religion.
