The Worcester pastor who has held five church services for more people than the limit set by the governor is asking a federal judge to overturn the governor's order on the grounds that it violates religious freedom.
Pastor Kris Casey and Adams Square Baptist Church filed suit in U.S. District Court in Boston yesterday seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent authorities from enforcing the governor's order.
Pastor Nick White and Victory Baptist Church in Dedham now have help from a national organization in their fight to hold in-person church services.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian conservative legal interest group based in Arizona, sent Dedham town officials a letter on Wednesday demanding that they rescind the cease-and-desist letter they sent Victory Baptist Church last week.
