Whom should fund faith-based outreach?
Nicole McMullin
Nov 17, 2006
After taking office in 2001, President Bush signed executive orders that made federal tax dollars available to religious groups. This Sunday, the News & Messenger is publishing a story about faith-based organizations that receive federal funding for outreach projects. Two groups from Manassas are included in the list of faith-based organizations in Virginia that received funding in 2005.
Reporter Sean Mussenden examines the overall practice of awarding taxpayer funds to faith-based groups.
The examination leads to “The 64-trillion-dollar question.”
Are religious groups more or less effective than secular groups when it comes to serving the community?
What do you think? Should faith-based organizations have access to federal tax dollars? What about separation of church and state?
