Obama forbids preaching at faith based programs

No More Sermons at the Soup Kitchen

     WASHINGTON (CN) - Faith-based organizations may no longer conduct worship services or proselytize while providing social programs funded with federal money. President Obama has amended a 2002 Executive Order from President George W. Bush that allowed faith-based social programs to get federal aid.
     Bush's order allowed religious services to be conducted at the same time and in the same place as the social program offered, so long as the service itself was not supported by the money allocated to the social program.
     Thus, visitors to a soup kitchen run by a church might hear a sermon while getting their food.
