Summary
The city of Chattanooga’s COVID-19 stay-at-home order did not originally ban drive-in churches, but Mayor Andrew Berke abruptly announced right before Easter that his order specifically prohibited them.
If churches are treated unfairly by more COVID-19 regulations, ADF will be there to challenge them—all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.
The government has a duty to uphold the First Amendment, and it should not be singling out churches with extra regulations.
