Woman says church turned her blind brother away because of his service dog
07/03/2019 UPDATE: A South Carolina church announced on Wednesday that it will be changing its policy after denying a blind worshipper entry because he was accompanied by a service dog.“While our policy was certainly legal, we now realize it was not sensitive, wise, or reflective of our heart,” their statement reads. “This Sunday, July 7, 2019, LowCountry Community Church will return to its original policy of warmly welcoming service animals and, more importantly, welcome their beloved owners.
According to a Facebook post, Tiffany wrote that a man wearing a church badge took her brother aside and told him that dogs aren’t allowed on the premises, saying “churches have the right to refuse service dogs.” “People with fake certificates and dogs are the problem — they caused the issue,” she said. “Service dogs have a unique behavior when they’re out, and it’s easy to tell if a dog is really a service dog.”
“Allowing an unlimited number of potentially uncertified animals, with minimal venue restrictions, as the existing law requires, would be a safety risk to the approximately 2,500 people who attend events in our facility each week,” the statement reads.
