Faith based double standardsMollie Ziegler Hemingway writing in the Wall Street Journal: “Now that Mr. Bush is gone, however, no one seems particularly worried about the entanglement of the federal government with religious organizations . . . Barry Lynn, head of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, was a vocal critic of Mr. Bush’s faith-based office. Now, under Mr. Obama, he serves on the advisory council’s task force to improve the functioning of the office. Explaining his turnaround, he said he doesn’t view Mr. Obama’s office as partisan—the way Mr. Bush’s was.” Ms. Hemingway is a columnist for Christianity Today and a contributor to Getreligion.org. |
