Philadelphia-Area Activist, Preserver of Church-State Separation, scheduled to Debate former White House Leader on Faith-based Initiatives
GWYNEDD, PA (PRWEB) August 29, 2004 -- Janice Rael, president of the Americans United for Separation of Church and State – Delaware Valley Chapter, will debate the Faith-Based Funding Initiative Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. The controversial "charitable choice" initiatives allow the government to fund churches and other ministries without safeguards that prevent publicly funded religious coercion and other church-state abuses. Defending the initiative is Stanley Carlton-Thies, associate director of the Cabinet Center on Affairs of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives for the White House.
The debate will take place at the Foulkeways Retirement Community Center, 1120 Meetinghouse Road, Gwynedd PA, 19436. For directions, call Foulkeways or visit their website here: www.foulkeways.org/Directions.html
