In reply to Alan Turley.

The Aug. 17 "Free to be Faithful" program will focus entirely on the issues and on the positions of candidates, and will not include endorsement of any candidate.

However, one of the topics planned for the program could involve discussion of churches' tax-exempt status.

This issue was raised in the wake of the Obergefell decision. Two dissenting justices raised that specter, and the U.S. solicitor general said it is entirely possible that the tax-exempt status of religious institution that oppose same-sex marriage could be endangered.
