After nearly six years of effort, culminating in a yearlong battle with Charlotte County’s zoning board, Lutheran Church of the Cross will now be able to build a 60-foot monument cross on its 11-acre property. Last week, the Charlotte County Board of Commissioners voted 4-0 to instruct zoning staff to reexamine whether the monument cross should be classified as a “sign” or as a “structure” and “work of art.”

“Charlotte County’s intransigent classification of the church’s monument cross as a ‘sign’ after expressing concerns about what non-Christians might think of the church’s monument cross exposes the County to liability,” Liberty Counsel wrote in a letter to the Charlotte County Board of Commissioners. The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 has made clear that when evaluating restrictions on the free exercise of religion, only those restrictions that are the least restrictive have the chance of passing constitutional muster.

Please continue to pray for this case and Liberty Counsel as we defend religious liberty.
