Faith Based Controversy

rvineis

David Kuo and John J. DiIulio’s NYT piece on faith based initiatives last week caused quite a stir. Check out the reactions from the current head of the White House department they criticize, a minister preaching the establishment clause, the general counsel of the American Jewish Committee, and the president of a Secular Humanist society.
Update: Meanwhile, check out the implications of the President’s executive order on earmarks for his faith-based programming on Howard Friedman’s blog, Religion Clause.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
