Dr. C. Welton Gaddy criticized the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) for once again asking members of the clergy to violate the Constitution and IRS regulations by endorsing political candidates from the pulpit. In response, Interfaith Alliance is asking clergy to pledge not to make such endorsements from the pulpit or on behalf of their house of worship and to join the more than 200 faith leaders who made that same commitment during the 2008 election cycle . . . A copy of the pledge along with a selection of signers can be found at http://www.interfaithalliance.org/clergypledge." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/10/04/interfaith-alliance-wants-clergy-to-pledge-not-to-endorse-politicians-from-the-pulpit/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/30/groups-urge-congressional-hearings-on-faith-based-initiative/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/30/groups-urge-congressional-hearings-on-faith-based-initiative/#comments Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:31:34 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=64683 Religion Clause: "On June 18, thirty national organizations comprising the Coalition Against Religious Discrimination, sent a letter (full text) to the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee urging it to hold hearings on the current status of the Faith-Based Initiative." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/30/groups-urge-congressional-hearings-on-faith-based-initiative/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/29/advocacy-groups-react-to-cls-v-martinez/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/29/advocacy-groups-react-to-cls-v-martinez/#comments Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:18:18 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/29/advocacy-groups-react-to-cls-v-martinez/ Religion Clause Blog: "Many advocacy groups and interested parties have issued statements on yesterday's Supreme Court decision in Christian Legal Society v.
