Two fair housing groups said today they had filed a suit against a church and home insurer for allegedly violating federal housing law by showing bias in favor of Christians in selling its products.

The announcement was made by National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) in Washington and the Fair Housing Advocates Association (FHAA), Akron, Ohio.

Named in the action was GuideOne Mutual Insurance Company, West Des Moines, Iowa, which was accused of offering and advertising homeowners insurance products in a discriminatory fashion based on religious status and a preference for Christians.
