Effect of Religious Freedom Restoration Act on Interstate Natural Gas Pipeline Development Adorers of the Blood of Christ v. FERC, No. 5:17-cv-03136, 2017 WL 4310369 (E.D. Pa. Sept. 28, 2017), appeal docketed, No. 17-3163 (3d Cir. Oct. 2, 2017), might be a case to watch because it features a claim that a federally regulated natural gas pipeline project violates the religious freedoms of the affected landowners. Before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania were the Adorers of the Blood of Christ's (Adorers) motion seeking to enjoin construction of Transcontinental Gas Pipeline, LLC's (Transco) Atlantic Sunrise pipeline and Transco's and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) motions to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
