[MassHistPres] Church sues over district creation

[McClure, Veronica]

Does that make cross-gabled houses religious symbols?

I have uploaded a copy of the lawsuit here:

One of the claims seems to be that since the church building is in the shape of a cross, regulating anything pertaining to it would be the same as regulating religious expression.
