[nagdu] Churches

[Laurel]

I must chip in on this conversation. My father is in the ministry and
my family is nondenominational. I've never asked for permission to
come in with the dog, I have always just gone in and I've never had
problems. I have had a pastor ask if my dog was a guide and working
service dog, but I don't mind being asked, even though it is kind of
obvious. I would never call ahead and ask, unless I knew it was a
denomination or religion that had issues with dogs to begin with. It's
much harder to deny you when your there in person than it is over the
phone.
