The Supreme Court has ruled against California’s COVID-related restrictions on in-home Bible study groups and other religious gatherings.

The court’s narrow 5–4 ruling on April 9 was in favor of a group of Santa Clara residents who asserted the restrictions violated the First and 14th amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
