Did you hear about the 1,500 preachers breaking the law?

Hundreds of preachers broke the law Oct. 7 in a calculated act of civil disobedience aimed squarely at the IRS. Odds are, however, you didn’t hear about “Pulpit Freedom Sunday.”

The reason you didn’t is that most of the lawbreakers minister to fundamentalist, evangelical or other conservative Protestant congregations and espouse political views supporting traditional notions of marriage, family and patriotism. Think Franklin Graham.
