The controversy began on Jan. 24, 2021, when members of the church attempted to hold a Sunday service in the city park outside of the Palace of Fine Arts in the city’s Marina District without the proper permit.
Members of the Christ’s Forgiveness Ministries filed suit against San Francisco asserting their right to worship in The City’s public parks, like the Palace of Fine Arts , without securing a permit. Two members of a Christian evangelical church known as Christ’s Forgiveness Ministries have filed a federal civil rights action against the city and county of San Francisco asserting a right to worship in the city’s public parks without securing a permit.
According to its website, CFM is a “non-denominational Christian Ministry founded by David Lynn who is a planting, pastoral and evangelistic figure within Toronto, Canada.” CFM’s outdoor services typically last more than two hours and include musical instruments, singing, testimonies, communion and a sermon. The number of worshippers varies between 40 and 70.
Two weeks later, the group met again for worship, this time near the basketball courts at McLaren Park, and without amplification. They selected the spot because it had good acoustics. They thought the requirements were burdensome and proposed a workaround by capping attendance at 49, but allegedly they were advised that the amplification and their folding table also triggered the permit requirement.
