Dan French was telling a joke about being bald when strains of gospel music flooded the comedy club where he was performing. "Am I being heckled by God?" he asked the audience at the Capitol City Comedy Club.(Pictured: Pastor Nathan Thomas)
The music was coming from Fresh Oil Family Fellowship, a boisterous nondenominational congregation that occupies the adjacent storefront in a strip mall here.
Mr. French's ad-lib drew some laughter from the crowd that evening several weeks ago, he said. But since then, the issue of music seeping through the church walls has erupted into a brouhaha.
The comedy club complained about the noise; the landlord asked Fresh Oil to leave the building by the end of the year.
But Bishop Nathan Thomas, the founder and leader of the Pentecostal-charismatic church, isn't going without a fight. Using the slogan "Jokes vs. Jesus," he organized several protests earlier this month, objecting to what he says is religious bigotry and racism. He is consulting with a lawyer.
