Faith Voices Letter
In Support Of Keeping Houses Of Worship Nonpartisan August 16, 2017 Dear Senator: As a leader in my religious community, I am strongly opposed to any effort to repeal or weaken current law that protects houses of worship from becoming centers of partisan politics. Changing the law would threaten the integrity and independence of houses of worship. We must not allow our sacred spaces to be transformed into spaces used to endorse or oppose political candidates. Faith leaders are called to speak truth to power, and we cannot do so if we are merely cogs in partisan political machines. The prophetic role of faith communities necessitates that we retain our independent voice. Current law respects this independence and strikes the right balance: houses of worship that enjoy favored tax-exempt status may engage in advocacy to address moral and political issues, but they cannot tell people who to vote for or against. Nothing in current law, however, prohibits me from endorsing or opposing political candidates in my own personal capacity. Changing the law to repeal or weaken the “Johnson Amendment” – the section of the tax code that prevents tax-exempt nonprofit organizations from endorsing or opposing candidates – would harm houses of worship, which are not identified or divided by partisan lines. Particularly in today’s political climate, engaging in partisan politics and issuing endorsements would be highly divisive and have a detrimental impact on congregational unity and civil discourse. I therefore urge you to oppose any repeal or weakening of the Johnson Amendment, thereby protecting the independence and integrity of houses of worship and other religious organizations in the charitable sector. -

DVD Speaker: The Reverend Frank DeSiano, CSP The Paulist Fathers Jamaica Estates, New York The interactive quality of the Eucharist that we celebrate gives clues about what God asks of us. By responding at the Eucharist, and living our response, we orient ourselves to the Kingdom of God by committing ourselves to be disciples. The Offertory of the Mass, one of the key points of response and commitment, is poorly appropriated by Catholics. The dynamic of the Mass, as well, gives important direction for how a parish itself lives its mission of self-offering. Closing Keynote Address – From Attitude to Action Time: 55 min. DVD Speaker: The Reverend John Lanzrath Director, Office of Stewardship Diocese of Wichita, Kansas Jesus Christ invites each of us by name to follow Him. Stewardship is a life-long response of a grateful disciple to follow Christ, to imitate Christ, to be formed in the heart of Christ, to bring others to Christ. This presentation is founded in the words that St. Paul shares with the Philippians, “Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5) 2007 ICSC Conference – September 23 -26, Miami, FL Opening Keynote Address – Stewardship, A Disciple’s Response Time: 45 min. -
