Temporary Hall by Rev. Truesdell Faces Marriage Ban
Rev. Robert Truesdell, barred from performing marriages in his chapel on the Strip, planned 9 a.m. services with a sermon “Everyone Gets His Penny.” He said he would continue to wed at the Chapel of the Bells, Las Vegas Blvd. South, while his Nevada Mission Fellowship remains separate. A District Court decision last week allowed nuptials without license renewal, but a restraining order halts weddings pending appeal. Truesdell expects the order to lift soon and notes the case tests church state separation. The Chapel of the Bells remains active, with two substitute ministers. 69 couples wed during July Fourth weekend. Nevada’s wedding industry is valued around $100 million annually.
