…emption but for the fact that, for example, they provide charitable social services to persons of different religious faiths or employ persons of different religious faiths when running a parochial school. Indeed, this was never the Departments’ intention in connection with the 2011 amended interim final rules or the 2012 final rules.” (emphasis added) In other words, the administration claims it never intended to deprive a religious organization…

…essage. One of his heroes is Martin Luther King Jr. He would like The King Center to open a Research and Development Center in Delhi to explore the problem of Christian Dalits. It’s a valid connection, Batnitzky says.

‘Soul Murder’ in the American Workplace

By Peter Laarman

…today who seek to put work—and the need for better-balanced work—into the center of the national conversation. Wendell Berry, obviously. Riane Eisler. David and Frances Korten (who have been about this for a long time). Theirs should all be household names, but they are names belonging to people who still remain pioneers on the frontiers of serious thinking about finding a sustainable path. And they have far too few allies in the religious commun…
