A NYC Pastor's Perspective on Being Excluded from Schoolrooms

This week the Supreme Court denied certiorari in the Bronx Household of Faith case, thereby allowing the New York City school board to single out religious worship services for exclusion from public school rooms open after hours to other community groups.  Christianity Today has published an an interesting perspective from a NYC evangelical pastor, whose church will now have to find a new meeting place, on how Christians should respond.  On the legal issues, Rick and I and others had filed a "Brief of First Amendment Scholars" (see here) supporting a cert grant, and school board's rule is irreconcilable with (among other things) Widmar v. Vincent, the case that Mike Paulsen has just reminded us was so crucial to development of the fundamental principle of "equal access" for religious activities.
