Task-Force Recommendations (draft) on Faith-Based Initiative

Available here.  (HT:  Institutional Religious Freedom Alliance).  A bit:

The "Reform of the Office" task force made draft recommendations today to President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, advocating clarification and some modifications of the church-state rules that currently govern the use of federal funds by faith-based and secular organizations.  Although these rules are sometimes said to have been created by the Bush faith-based initiative, other important sources are the Clinton-era "Charitable Choice laws," the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and various U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

The question of restricting religious hiring when federal funds are involved is reserved to the President and was not discussed.
