In weighing a defamation case against an Iowa church, the state’s Supreme Court has upheld a decision limiting court involvement in religious matters.
The case was initiated in 2017 by Ryan Koster, a former member of Harvest Bible Chapel, a nondenominational Christian church in Davenport. In 2005, Koster began attending the church, where he later met his future wife, Lisa. The couple married in 2007 and had two children.
