With a

culture from a Christian worldview on John Stone Street with the point.

Back in 2016 Steve tennis, owner of Country Mill Farms,

posted on Facebook that because of their deeply held religious beliefs,

the farm would continue to host weddings but only between a man

and woman. In response, the city of East Lansing passed a regulation to prevent country mill farms

from participating in the city's farmers market,

this despite the fact that the tennis had participated for about five years

without any complaints.

The Alliance defending freedom filed suit on their behalf.

According to the judge's opinion, the city's policy was, quote,

failed cover for targeting belief for a faith-based practice.

And last week, the city of East Lansing agreed to settle and pay $825,000 to Country Mill Farms.

And according to the ADF press release as part of the settlement agreement,

the city agreed that tennis is free to continue running his business

in accord with his religious beliefs about marriage without

jeopardizing his ability to participate in the city's farmers market.

Religious belief should not keep us from public participation and that's great

news for people of conscience.
