Feds Investigate Obama's Church

rvineis

The IRS is investigating whether or not a speech Senator Obama gave at the Trinity United Church of Christ violated the church’s non-profit status. The UCC denies any wrongdoing claiming that they consulted their lawyers to ensure they followed the law. Yet, in a letter to the church ,the IRS expressed concern over articles on the church website and tables with Obama campaign staff outside the event.

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.
