11th Circuit upholds limits on feeding large groups in parks

By Alliance Alert

Religion Clause: "The majority held that the feeding activities do not amount to symbolic expression under the First Amendment because a reasonable observer would not see them as communicative. It rejected a Free Exercise challenge, finding the Ordinance to be a neutral law of general applicability that serves a rational basis. It rejected void-for-vagueness and equal protection challenges. Finally it concluded that the law does not violate the Florida Religious Freedom Restoration Act because it does not substantially burden the church's exercise of its religious belief in sharing food during services." | First Vagabonds Church of God v. City of Orlando, (11th Cir., July 6, 2010)
