What's wrong with praying in a library?

posted by Blake on 08:55 AM March 16th, 2007, from the serpent-handling dept.

In The Bakersfield Californian Marylee Shrider asks What's wrong with
praying in a library?
.
"Freedom of religious expression and equal access is a constitutional right of every American. So, unless the congregants of Hopkins' Faith Center Church are of a serpent-handling sect, have the volume turned up on their tambourines or are attempting to proselytize book-reading bystanders, it's not the business of Contra Costa County or even the 9th District Court of Appeals to determine when their "speech" crosses that invisible frontier into "service."
