(August 20, 2008)--Officials in Crown Point, Ind. threatened to revoke a permit for a church's tent revival meeting after numerous noise complaints from neighbors.
Living Stones Fellowship was granted a permit to erect a tent on its property for a month-long prayer festival that runs daily until midnight.
Police Chief Pete Land says his department issued 10 citations to the church between July 31 and Aug. 10.
One neighbor told a packed city council meeting Monday night that she has to turn on the air conditioning, the washer, the dryer and a fan to drown out the noise.
Pastor Ron Johnson, Jr. said the church will work with city officials.
He says the noise comes from the cheering crowd, not from the music at the prayer festival.
