found via the gutless pacifist, who says that some churches are also coming under scrutiny for politically slanted speeches, etc. :
from CNN.com - NAACP says it refused IRS' request for documents -
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Lawyers for the NAACP say their client will not supply documents the IRS has requested as part of an investigation into a political speech given last year by the group's chairman.
a quote, "In a written statement obtained by CNN, Bond said, "We've criticized, condemned and/or praised every president since Theodore Roosevelt and we'll continue to speak truth to power.""
I wonder how many churches engaged in supporting Bush (or Kerry) directly or indirectly as the "Christian" candidate?

This is the inevitable consequence whenever a church is foolish enough to delve into politics, rather than keep focused on Kingdom work.
My own church became a noisy place in the weeks up to the election and Bible study conversations usually veered off very quickly into the election. Our pastor, thankfully, did his best to keep us focused on God. Others were not so fortunate.
