Oregon city to pay after after restricting church's homeless ... ministry

Christian Post,

An Oregon city will have to pay over ... in legal fees and other costs after stopping a church's homeless ministry that provides free meals several days a week from serving the local needy population amid complaints from neighbors.

Last week, the City of Brookings agreed to a settlement with St. Timothy's Episcopal Church that includes repealing a local ordinance that restricted the congregation's homeless ministry.

As part of the settlement, the city will have to pay the legal group Stoel Rives LLP $375,000 and the Oregon Justice Resource Center $43,000, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.
