"What do faith-based groups and social agencies really make of President Bush's effort to try to expand the role of faith-based groups in addressing social needs? What do they think of the 'charitable choice' legislation, which makes religious groups eligible to receive social welfare funds from the government? To find out, a group at the Institute for Religious Research interviewed leaders of 14 socially active congregations in the Hartford area along with officials at 13 related social agencies. We [CHRISTIAN CENTURY] also spoke with staff in the governor's office, with administrators of relevant state agencies, and with political leaders from both parties." (CHRISTIAN CENTURY) This article dispels some of the myths regarding charitable choice.
