Critics of Georgia's sweeping crackdown on sex offenders asked a federal judge today to allow sex offenders to volunteer at churches. The Atlanta-based Southern Center for Human Rights claims the current ban contradicts the right to participate in prayer worship. The center said one offender in Glynn County faced prosecution for playing the piano during a regular Sunday service. The law also bans sex offenders from living, working or loitering within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, gyms, swimming pools and the state's 150,000 school bus stops.
