CWN Editor's Note: The Archdiocese of Washington has filed suit against Mayor Murel Bower of the District of Columbia, charging that the city’s restrictions on churches have a chilling effect on religious freedom. The suit argues that the city’s rules are “discriminatory, in that they single out religious worship” for special restrictions.
