This is, quite simply, illegal—but many pastors don’t know that. In fact, many law-enforcement officers don’t know that either, and they can be paralyzed by uncertainty. That uncertainty is compounded when the “protesters” claim a First Amendment right to be there.
The truth is, there is no such right. Federal law makes the disruption of a worship service illegal, and many states, cities, and counties have their own laws against it.
