Prepping the Pastor For Legal Battle
After reviewing their packet of online information for ministers, Melissa Rogers finds that the Alliance Defense Fund's "Pulpit Initiative" is more about mounting a legal challenge than it is about defending earnest religious expression.
So the goal is not for the ministers to provide the most faithful words and witness to the flock. No, the goal is for the ministers to prepare the sermons "with the assistance and direction" of a bunch of lawyers "to ensure maximum effectiveness in challenging the IRS." Good to know.I wonder what a lawyer's hourly rate is for writing a sermon?
