Resources for Pastors & Churches ***Pamphlet that outlines what churches and pastors can and cannot do in matters of politics. Available in two formats:
Religious leaders often overly restrict their speech and actions because they simply don't know what they legally can and cannot say or do. Print out the Alliance Defense Fund's Pastor Guideline Letter to educate Christian leaders on their broad U.S. constitutional right to speak out. Consider adding a personal note of encouragement to your pastor or priest to not keep silent on the divisive issues facing our culture. Liberty Legal Institute has provided this guidance; and the ACLJ has posted this information for 501(c)(3) incorporated churches. This bill previously introduced in the U.S. Congress would restore the free speech rights of 501(c)(3) incorporated churches.A Christian Voter Intimidation Letter from Americans United for Separation of Church and State is an example of efforts to intimidate Christians and churches from being involved in the election process.
