Here's an interesting and troubling story coming from Arizona. According to the report the legal organization, The Alliance Defense Fund, has taken up the case and it is expected that this ordinance will be overturned. The question I have is why was this even made an ordinance in the first place. Feel free to comment below and read the other linked stories about this case.

The reporter said that a compliance officer saw "signs". It sounds as though there were sings posted around the neighborhood and therefore the bible was study was being promoted as a public event rather than a private one. I don't think the city was necessarily trying to ban private bibnle studies, but rather, advertising to the public at large to attend an event in an area zone as residential. But, what do i know.
