Amy Marchant was breastfeeding her 1-year-old daughter while watching her 4-year-old twins in the worship area.
HOWELL, Mich. – More than a year after Amy Marchant was confronted by a staff member at The Naz – Brighton Nazarene Church andThe church issued an apology last year, an apology Marchant claimed was defamatory, invaded her privacy, violated the Breastfeeding Anti-Discrimination Act and committed a breach of contract.
Marchant and her family"felt compelled to leave the Church as a result to avoid future embarrassment and shame," according to the lawsuit.Marchant did not say how much she received as part of the settlement but said it was less than $25,000. The settlement calls for the money to be donated to two breastfeeding organizations, Livingston County Birth Circle and Breastfeeding Center of Ann Arbor.
"Both breasts were totally exposed. … From their perspective, it’s natural, we know, but we felt it inappropriate for boys and men, and we weren’t trying to shame, we were trying to deal with others who were uncomfortable and how they felt. Hurt, embarrassment and shame was not intended," Walls said last year.
