[Publib] Supreme Court & church meeting in library

[Sharon Foster]

I don't know that it's so much a matter of judging content as it is a
matter not using public funds to support religion. If a church cannot
support itself, including paying for its own meeting space, then maybe
it needs to rethink its mission. Unless you're suggesting that the
UFOlogists constitute a religion? ;-)
