The IRS Gets Up in God's Grill
All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, CA has one of the largest congregations on the west coast. On Monday, it came out that the IRS has threatened to revoke its tax exempt status because of a sermon given on October 31, 2004 where the rector made antiwar statements (namely that Jesus would not condone the war) but did not endorse either political candidate. (The presidential election was the following week.) The IRS isn't taking on the religious right or Catholics, whose churches advocate an anti-choice agenda, but it's open season on a left wing church preaching peace.
