(CBN) – A Virginia senior living community is facing a federal lawsuit after threatening to evict residents for leading a Bible study in their own apartment. Attorneys with the First Liberty Institute and Hunton Andrews Kurth, LLP filed the lawsuit against The Evergreens at Smith Run in Fredericksburg, VA, and its parent company, Community Realty Company (CRC), alleging religious discrimination in housing by the apartment’s management. As CBN News reported, Ken and Liv Hauge were threatened with eviction
by the company last year for hosting a small Bible study. A retired pastor, Ken led the Bible study in his personal capacity at the request of other senior residents. The study grew so much that at one point they asked to use a community room. Their request was granted. But later they were told they couldn’t hold the Bible study there. The Hauges has lived at the senior community since 2017. They are both in their mid-80s. READ MORE
