disabled. This church said it did nothing wrong. BS. Absolute BS. At least they could have offered a hand to guide Mr. Burch into the facility and get him seated in time for the services, but they didn't. They could have offered to watch his support animal while services were going on. They didn't. Churches and synagogues are exempt from the Americans with Disabilities Act, sad. If I were representing my church, I'd labor a little more to ensure that all those wishing to attend services could do so in a reasonable manner. They didn't.
