"Spies in the Pews"

This Associated Press story describes the work of a group called "The Mainstream Coalition", "a group monitoring the political activities of local pastors and churches. The coalition, based in suburban Kansas City, says it wants to make sure clergy adhere to federal tax guidelines restricting political activity by nonprofit groups, and it's taking such efforts to a new level." The story also describes the related efforts of Rev. Barry Lynn's group, Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
