Psychedelic Church Seeks Religious Freedom Protection
"In the first segment, our panelists discuss the legal battle between Soul Tribes International Ministries and the City of Detroit over religious freedom protections. The church, known for considering psilocybin mushrooms a religious sacrament, faces closure by the city after a police raid seized psychedelic substances from the premises, sparking a debate on the application of federal law and religious liberties.
In the second segment of the show, we delve into the case of St. Dominic Academy v. Makin, where Catholic schools in Maine fight for equal access to the state's tuition assistance program. Despite a Supreme Court ruling overturning Maine's religious ban, the state introduces covert measures to exclude faith-based schools, raising questions about religious freedom and educational access.
About the Show:
