New Statement of Current Law On Religious Expression In U.S

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Yesterday, Wake Forest University's Center for Religion and Public Affairs released a 32-page document titled Religious Expression in American Life: A Joint Statement of Current Law. Drafted by a group of 28 experts from a variety of religious and political views, the document attempts to answer in clear language some 35 questions about the permissible role of religion in the public forum. The document covers topics such as the role of religious belief in formulating public policy, restrictions on tax-exempt organizations, religious displays on public property, religion in the workplace, and religious activity in public schools. ADL has issued a press release describing the joint statement. [Thanks to Steve Sheinberg for the lead.]
