Chris Avell, the pastor of Dad's Place in Bryan, Ohio, has been charged with violating the city's zoning laws for allegedly keeping the church's doors open for the homeless 24/7. City officials said the charges stem from investigations that allegedly uncovered safety risks inside the church, but his attorney told Newsweek that the church made necessary repairs and that the city continues shifting the goalposts amid the dispute.

 

Great values.

As someone who faced a similar thing, not too shocking. If they want you out or to stop something they will keep coming up with an excuse.
