IN THEORY:

Obama Keeps One Bush Policy

 

[Published: Friday, February 13, 2009 -8:48 PM PST]

 

 

Daily Pilot: "President Obama recently announced his intention to maintain his predecessors faith-based office in the White House without making a key change he promised on the campaign trail: That organizations receiving federal money couldnt discriminate on hiring on the basis of religion. What do you think of the presidents decision to allow religious organizations receiving federal grants to hire only people of the same religion?

"

 

Pastor Tomlinson:

I think the president was correct in leaving the policy as it stood under the Bush administration. We presume that the religious charity is in fact serving humanity, which in turn strengthens our society and ultimately our country. If faith-based charities are forced to violate their faith, they will have ceased to be true to themselves, and thus of no real value to God or man.
