The 2020 election is just three weeks from today. The home stretch promises to be volatile and unpredictable—as if this year wasn’t volatile and unpredictable enough already! While tensions surrounding this election run high, many church leaders understand that voting is a civic duty and one worthy to promote among their congregants, regardless of political leanings. To help your church assess how it can best encourage fulfilling this duty in an election year—while still keeping in mind its tax-exempt status—we’ve tailored a special page highlighting some of Church Law & Tax’s best content on the topic. It includes a webinar, an assessment, and several articles and Q&As. And, to go even deeper, don’t miss our downloadable resource, Politics and the Church. Also this week: Why the negligent supervision of an employee can land an employer—including a church—in legal hot water. A former special advisor for the Obama and Trump administrations says church-related restrictions due to COVID-19 may be inconvenient—sometimes even illegal—but leaders shouldn’t call it persecution. Church Law & Tax and the entire ministry of Christianity Today need your prayers and your financial support. Please consider partnering with us to help sustain and grow our vital ministry to the church. The Lord bless you and keep you, |
