A complaint has been lodged protesting the use of the St. Charles County Courthouse for a men-only Bible study.
Judge Matt Thornhill leads the group, which has been meeting each Wednesday at noon in any meeting room at the courthouse not being used for official purposes.
Judges of the 11th Circuit met en banc Monday afternoon to discuss a letter from a St. Charles attorney sent to Presiding Judge Ted House.
In the letter, the lawyer argues against the use of public facilities for a "men's only, lawyers only" Bible study group.
"It is my belief that by allowing Judge Thornhill and these attorneys to conduct a private segregated Bible study group the 11th Circuit court has and is inadvertently violating the Constitution of the State of Missouri," the unidentified lawyer wrote.
