Welcome to my personal journal. It’s mostly about Swampscott. I’m sorry if you came here for something else.
P.S. this even should apply to “feel good” stories from local police departments too. There has been a nationwide effort from police departments to generate “positive PR” since 2020 and it’s ok to approach that with the slightest bit of skepticism.

Meanwhile, actual oppression happening to members of Christian churches and this religious freedom group appears to be silent on the issue:

Now compare this to asks from actually marginalized people who just want THE SAME rights as everyone else and not have groups like this trying to root them out of public life.

So no, there is nothing about Sikh headwear/beards or Muslim prayer opportunities, though fortunately they do recognize absentee voting benefits everyone. More so, they are concerned with stopping abortion AND contraception and being able to discriminate against others.

The site linked to here, though it just uses the broad word of “religion” is only and proudly only about Christianity. This group does not care about other religions. It is also a politically conservative flavor of Christianity too.

Ok getting some intel that the zoning may be specific to the “single house” and not a “single-housing historic district” which is less concerning.
