Reminder: Pulpit Initiative Today
For those who weren’t paying attention, today’s the day of the Alliance Defense Fund’s Pulpit Freedom Sunday, in which pastors are protesting the fact that their churches’ tax-exempt status comes with strings attached, namely rules against endorsing political candidates, same as any other non-profit organization.
From what I’ve seen, the news coverage is mostly unsympathetic. The Post’s On Faith column has a guest post in which the author tries to defend this act of civil disobedience, and gets smacked down in the comments.
So it looks as though most people recognize that the participating churches are trying to have their cake and eat it too, and can cry me a tax-exempt river.
