Interfaith Alliance wants clergy to pledge not to endorse politicians from the pulpit

By Alliance Alert

Virtue Online: "Interfaith Alliance President Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy criticized the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) for once again asking members of the clergy to violate the Constitution and IRS regulations by endorsing political candidates from the pulpit. In response, Interfaith Alliance is asking clergy to pledge not to make such endorsements from the pulpit or on behalf of their house of worship and to join the more than 200 faith leaders who made that same commitment during the 2008 election cycle . . . A copy of the pledge along with a selection of signers can be found at http://www.interfaithalliance.org/clergypledge."
