Heavenly Vision Christian Center holds worship service on the street in New York City after being banned from renting public school buildings for weekend services. Some 350 people attended the service.

Oh no. We can't have any kind of religion in schools . . .

When I was in elementary school, a group used our school cafeteria on Sundays to start a Baptist church. More people came and it grew and they eventually were able to build a big church. I don’t know of anyone who complained. Of course, it was a long time ago.

Its a tricky political maneuver for the neo pagan, anti Christian de Blasio regime to suppress the real religious sentiments of its politically deluded minority supporters.

I just sent them a message to tell them I support them and that they might want to contact local tea parties to help them in their cause. Here’s their contact info where you can send an email.com

Just an opinion but I think the Hispanic population has always been told to vote Democrat while I actually observed conservative values in their lifestyle and belief systems. I really think the time is right to get them to vote for their religious beliefs, family values, and moral values by voting conservative. Send them a message.

Why don’t they quit going to the school gym and go to any of the other actual real churches nearby ?

They all have spare seating capacity.

There was a SCOTUS ruling on this years ago. The jist of the decision was if a school rents its facilities to anyone they have to rent to a church. So if the boyscouts or Kiwannis or anybody uses the school facility they have to allow others.
I did a church plant a couple decades ago and they tried to block our use and we trotted out a lawyer who showed the Supreme court ruling. As long as we paid the normal amount of rent and the custodial help they could not refuse us.

You're kidding, right? Forgot the sarcasm tag?

There is no way Evangelicals would want to, nor should they, hold services with empty mainline churches. Empty, as in not just the building.

I’m dead serious. There’s plenty of half empty evangelical churches in NYC too.

“Latino Evangelical Leaders Disappointed With NYC Ban on Worship Services in Public Schools” but will keep on voting Democrat anyway because even though Democrats shut them out, they KNOW Republicans would have done it if they were in charge.

Yes, most churches are empty after 12:00 noon. Our church in Stuttgart, Germany, allowed a group of Korean believers (mostly from the nearby universities) to use our building in the afternoon. Most churches here in the U.S. are empty during that afternoon time slot as well. It’s a win, win.

This is odd because all kinds of civic groups have meetings in churches after hours.
