In Pa., Church Property Subject to Historic Designation
Philly.com (2016)
  • John F. Nivala
Abstract
Historic preservation ordinances such as Philadelphia's are neutral laws of general application that do not, on their face, impose a substantial burden on the free exercise of religion. Nor do they in application, given a process for relief if designation imposes a substantial burden. It is the church's obligation to establish that designation would prevent it from carrying out its mission.
