Trial Continues on Charges Bolingbrook Tried Illegally to Prevent Church from Worshiping
BOLINGBROOK, Ill., April 20, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Liberty Temple Full Gospel Church of Bolingbrook, a predominantly African American congregation, last year won an emergency injunction motion after a federal lawsuit (still pending) was filed against the Village of Bolingbrook. The suit asserted that the Village discriminated against them by making demands on the Church that the mayor and the Village had not made on other churches. The injunction allowed the Church to open while the lawsuit continued.
Recently, Bolingbrook attempted to stop the case from going to trial by filing a motion seeking summary judgment against the Church. However, Federal Judge Harry D. Leinenweber ruled last week against Bolingbrook, concluding for the third time that the Church has a right under the Bolingbrook Zoning Code and federal law to be in its property. The suit will go forward as the Church seeks damages for violation of the Religious Land Use and Intuitional Persons Act (RLUIPA). Liberty Temple also views Mayor Roger Claar's position as discriminatory against the Church's First Amendment rights.

PINE HAVEN, Wyo., April 6, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Never in his wildest imagination did Pastor Duke Taber of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Pine Haven Wyoming think that his personal blog would reach over 500,000 people in it's first year.
Taber's Truths started out as an extension of his weekly column in the Moorcroft Wyoming Leader. He had received good reports from the people in his community about what he was writing about and so he took it online. In just a year it has grown to over 50,000 people per month visiting his site.
"First I just published what I was writing for the newspaper." Pastor Duke as he likes to be called said. "Then I started giving people things that would help them in their faith like lists of Bible verses on popular topics and Christian Quotes from various denominations. Now I have expanded to do Christian News and Commentary, World Missions News, Christian Living, etc. I have ended up with a total Christian News Magazine! I have posted over 300 articles in 1 year."
