Will Faith-Based Programs Go Sour on Obama?

Read Tony’s blog on Huffington Post, “Will Faith-Based Programs Go Sour on Obama?”

From the blog: “From the beginning, there have been some religious leaders who greeted the funding of faith-based social services by government with ambivalence. On the one hand, they believed that these religiously grounded programs needed extra funding and were pleased that the White House wanted to help. On the other hand, they had deep concerns about how government dollars would change the character of those faith-based ministries receiving this aid.”
