Weekly Opinion Roundup -1/2/2007 http://www.religionandsocialpolicy.org/news/1-2-2007_opinion_roundup.cfm
The Roundtable
on Religion and Social Welfare Policy promotes informed debate
on the issue of publicly funded faith-based social service. Supported
by The Pew Charitable Trusts, the Roundtable provides independent, non-partisan
research on the scope and scale of faith-based social services, their
effectiveness, how public resources are being used in providing such services,
and the legal and regulatory issues involved. The Roundtable's comprehensive
web site makes this research and related information easily available.
