50 people is a large number for Bible study. This couple might be better off getting permission from their neighbors.
The city just wants revenue.

Seems there’s a “free exercise” clause in the Constitution, that over rules this ordinance.

Unless your gathering is causing serious, recurring traffic/parking problems, I’d say keep quiet and press on.

Unfortunately, yelling “unconstitutional!” and relying on the judgments of black robed mandarins, who very often are the fellow travelers of this lower grade of traitors, will only move things so far back along the path to reason and freedom.

So if I want to host a weekly prayer group, bible study or small worship service in my home that's now illegal, but if I want to have friends over for a weekly poker and beer night or have frequent raucous parties that's OK.

What we need is a law, maybe at the national level, guaranteeing the free exercise of religion and the right of people to peacefully assemble.

Remember this is California the state of the devils not the angels any more..People had better take their state back from the Communist and fools that make their money playing lets pretend..

I happen to love California and most of the people in it ..Such a beautiful state God gave us now the demons are running rampant time to vote them out of office..

It’s amazing how many people seem so complacent with this type of crap. It’s your bible study group today, but it will be graduation and Christmas gatherings next or any gathering the city decides it wants to regulate within your household to bring in some extra revenue for their union employees.

Two problems with this:

First, cities have allowed city streets to become narrower and narrower. There are many around here that if cars are parked on one side of the street, it becomes one lane.

Secondly, when you live near someone that frequently fills both sides of the street, it gets to be a real pain - no matter what the reason.

We used to live near some people that did something to cause great crowds at their house. At first I thought it was sex orgies, but finally figured it had something to do with MLM. At any rate, when getting to an from your house becomes a frustrating exercise - you are more than ready for it to stop!

Oh, here we have a perfect example of the government RESTRICTING the free exercise of religion. Hmmmmm where did I hear that was illegal....???

I hate when leftists call God a “diety” rather than the pius respect He deserves.
