Jordan Lorence: 9/11 and Bronx Household of Faith

By Alliance Alert

ADF Attorney Jordan Lorence writing at Speak Up Movement / University: "The 9/11 anniversary reminds me that nine years ago this month, I completed the legal pleadings for a lawsuit on behalf of a small church named Bronx Household of Faith against the Board of Education of the City of New York. Joe Infranco and I represented (and still represent) the small, intrepid church that has successfully challenged the Board of Education?s ban on private groups renting school facilities for worship services during nonschool hours . . . Right now, churches and other religious groups are meeting in public schools because of a permanent injunction prohibiting the Board of Education from enforcing the unconstitutional policy. The Board of Education has appealed the permanent injunction. ADF defended that permanent injunction before the federal appeals court for New York City last October. A decision could come any day now."
