New Study On Legal Developments Affecting Faith-Based Initiative

A release by the Roundtable on Religion and Social Welfare Policy announces the recent publication of a 116-page report titled The State of the Law 2006: Legal Developments Affecting Government Partnerships With Faith-Based Organizations. Authors Ira C. Lupu and Robert W. Tuttle say that this year's developments involve a mix of procedural and substantive concerns. The report covers the adequacy of guidance to faith-based organizations; government grants to increase faith-based organizations; faith-based programs in prisons; government chaplaincies; and the structure of Establishment Clause lawsuits challenging faith-based programs.
