Anti-war sermon threatens church's tax-free status

Nov 08, 2005 06:54

"The Internal Revenue Service has warned a prominent liberal church it could lose its tax-exempt status because of an anti-war sermon a guest preacher gave on the eve of the 2004 presidential election, church officials say."

"The IRS warned the church in June that its tax-exempt status was in jeopardy because such organizations are prohibited from intervening in political campaigns and elections."

We have local churches that hand out VOTING GUIDES. Of course, those are for conservative candidates. Not to mention all the sermons on the evils of homosexuality, feminism, and choice. I wonder if Falwell's "Liberals caused 9/11" church is still tax exempt?
