But before building can commence, the County Environmental Board and the Department of Natural Resources put the quietus on the plan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA colony of endangered Indiana bats have made the tree beside the meetinghouse, and the meetinghouse attic, their place of hanging, mating, and living, which poses a big problem for the congregation. Aside from the fact that their fanged visitors are engaging in sinful acts on church property, until these bats leave for hibernation, Hope Friends Meeting is left without a gathering place.
