A church group has been given more time to show that a 10,000-square-foot tent it erected on the Torres-Martinez Reservation in California meets local and tribal approval.
Global Church put up the tent as a command center as part of a project to house homeless farmworkers. Tribal and county officials demanded its removal but have agreed to meet with the church next week.
The tent is located on privately-held land within the reservation.
