The IRS and ‘Pulpit Freedom’: No one is off the no-electioneering hook yetAmericans United for Separation of Church and State: “The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) has announced it will hold another ‘Pulpit Freedom Sunday’ on Sept. 27. You might recall that during this event, the Religious Right legal outfit urges pastors to openly break the law by endorsing and/or opposing candidates from the pulpit. The group sponsored the first “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” on Sept. 28, 2008 . . . Far from rolling over, it looks to me like the IRS is girding for battle. Churches that choose to follow the ADF down this misguided path can’t say they weren’t warned.” |
