Recently, Dalton & Tomich attorney Noel Sterett joined attorney Josh Hershberger of the Bold Church Initiative podcast to discuss Noel’s passion for protecting religious liberty in land use cases across the country. The podcast covers not only how Noel discovered his passion and calling to defend religious groups of all kinds in land use matters but also provides a helpful summary of the key provisions of the Religious Land Use & Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) and current trends in municipal efforts to restrict religious groups.
