Home Meetings

I wonder if this would apply to Move Lowell Forward.  Down in San Juan Capistrano, the City is fining a couple for holding Bible Study meetings in their own home.  But, the point made by the City is, apparently, that where four or more are gathered one needs a permit from the City.

Homeowners Chuck and Stephanie Fromm, of San Juan Capistrano, were fined $300 earlier this month for holding what city officials called “a regular gathering of more than three people”.

Here is the timeline, from the point of view of the Fromms.

I am sure the City needs the tax money, since that is what it is, one way or the other.  Maybe this is a variant on the old Army saw, "If it moves tax it and if it doesn't, paint it."

I wonder if Father Junipero Serra had to pay a tax for his first Mass in San Juan Capistrano?
