Today, Liberty Counsel is filing a federal lawsuit against the North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation, alleging that the state policy used by park officials to threaten citation of members of Grace Baptist Church in Wilson violates their right to freedom of speech.
While church members enjoyed a picnic in a state park, they shared about Jesus with other visitors. A park ranger warned the pastor that the members would be cited for a park rule violation if they did not stop.
Liberty Counsel sent a demand letter on behalf of the pastor and church members to the Parks and Recreation Director informing him of the unconstitutional treatment, but the director defended the permit requirement.
