The Internal Revenue Service reversed course and granted tax-exempt status to a Christian group.

Christians Engaged, a Texas-based nonprofit group that encourages religious citizens to vote and get involved in politics, had its 501(c)(3) application denied by the IRS late last month after the federal organization determined the Bible’s “teachings are typically affiliated with” the GOP and its candidates. The decision was reversed following an appeal, conservative legal group First Liberty announced on Wednesday.
