Christian ministers threw down the gauntlet yesterday. Now we'll see whether the 54-year-old IRS regulation against ministers speaking out in politics has feet of clay. (click title for article.)
The thirty-three ministers set out this past Sunday to flaunt the ruling, seeking to generate a legal battle with the Internal Revenue Service. Ministers contend that they have a right to tell their worshipers how to vote: The IRS says that if you're tax exempt you can't make political endorsements.
I don't think anything will happen before the elections, but this is something to keenly follow after the elections. I want to see this unjust ruling put to sleep -- finally!
Imagine, trying to stifle the voice of ministers!
Imagine still, that we've accepted that as fair all this time.
