Authorities in California will attempt for a fourth time during the pandemic to shut down indoor church services at a Los Angeles-area Christian megachurch.

Los Angeles County’s motion, scheduled to be heard in that city on Aug. 24, seeks to prohibit indoor services at the Grace Community Church of the Valley. The church is represented by the Chicago-based Thomas More Society, a public-interest law firm specializing in religious freedom issues.
