フロリダシティが教会の公共プールを復元するために支払うことは、国教樹立禁止条項の下でOKです: 信教の自由事務所

“米国憲法修正第1条の制定条項. 憲法は、宗教団体がここで問題となっている資金のような一般的に利用可能な政府の利益を受け取ることを許可しています,” Keisha Russell and Ryan Gardner, lawyers with the firm First Liberty Institute, wrote in the letter, provided to Fox News Digital.

“Moveover, the Free Exercise Clause forbids the type of religious discrimination proposed by [the Freedom From Religion Foundation] FFRF whereby otherwise qualified religious organizations would be excluded because of their religious character or identity,” 彼ら added in the letter.

The First Liberty lawyers represent Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, which recently applied for a $ 35,000 grant to restore the indoor, junior Olympic swimming pool located in its Family Life Center in order to reopen the pool freely for the community’s use and enjoyment.

FFRF had previously sent a letter warning that the grant would violate the Establishment Clause. “The Center would undoubtedly use its pool to entice those in the community to come to the Center where it could then recruit them to join the Church,” FFRF staff attorney Christopher Line wrote in the letter, dated May 11.
