New Jersey requires “God’s Sq. Mile” to be open on Sundays
Neptune Township, New Jersey
A non secular nonprofit has owned Ocean Grove, a stretch of seashore and adjoining property, for greater than 150 years. Throughout that interval, the coverage of the Methodist group was to shut the seashore on Sundays. Within the Nineteen Eighties, the group relaxed this coverage, opening Ocean Grove seashores at midday on Sundays between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It is the one stretch of the Jersey Shore, roughly 130 miles lengthy, that swimmers aren’t allowed on summer season Sunday mornings. Now state officers are looking for to strip the group of its non secular traditions and pressure the seashores to open.
