Commentary by the Rev. Barry W. Lynn - Sep 26, 2008
It's disgraceful that the Religious Right is trying to forge America's houses of worship into a partisan political machine. The good news is that a growing number of clergy are speaking out against it. They realize that a pastor's job is to bring people together – Republicans, Democrats and independents – not use the pulpit to drive wedges into congregations. I am confident that the religious community and the American people at large will reject this reckless scheme.
