Christian group in Ocean Grove, NJ, temporarily opens beach on Sundays to challenge state beach access laws.

A Christian group in Ocean Grove, NJ, is temporarily allowing Sunday morning beach access after 155 years of closing the beach to honor God. The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, a Methodist group, will keep the beach open while it challenges a state order mandating beach access laws. The group has asked for an emergency ruling to halt enforcement of these laws, which threaten fines of $25,000 per day.
