Rancho Cucamonga, CA – A city in the greater Los Angeles area that sparked national outrage for its attempts to shut down a home Bible study has conceded defeat while hinting that it might try to shutter similar groups.

The City of Rancho Cucamonga had sent a letter to a small home Bible study, demanding that it stop meeting unless it secured a costly and potentially unobtainable permit that is not required of comparable non-religious gatherings in homes. After receiving a letter from Pacific Justice Institute – and negative publicity nationwide – the City has reversed course and dropped its enforcement action.  The Mayor and other City officials even visited the Friday night Bible study.
