Bush & the Church

The Bush campaign has issued a “guide” to churches around the country asking them to support him and enumerating 22 “duties” each should complete. This, of course, raises a number of problems, not the least of which are separation of church & state and the requirement that non-profits not endorse political candidates.

Newspapers around the country all seem to have their own take on the issue, but the most comprehensive article I found in my brief search was this one from the NY Times.

This article from The Express Times, a Lehigh Valley/New Jersey newspaper, has some interesting information about Bush’s religion and the approach he’s taking.

And here are all of the related articles Google has indexed.

On a related note, this is a roughly transcribed interview with Huston Smith with a focus on the relationship between Bush politics and religion.
