Sapperstein on Faith-based Initiatives

Rabbi David Sapperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism, spoke this afternoon to the Executive Board of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. Here's what he had to say about faith-based initiatives:

"I think faith-based inititives are fine except for four technical problems that need to be addressed.

1. It's bad for religion.
2. It's bad for the state.
3. It's bad for the poor.
4. It's unconstitutional.

Other than that, faith-based initiatives are just fine."
