- Election Year Guide for Churches
- We get lots of questions about what churches can and can't do when it comes to talking about policy issues, inviting candidates to forums, or participating in voter registration and Election Day activities. The Interfaith Alliance has a great easy to understand resource to help churches be involved in a non-partisan way and not get in trouble with the IRS -- Religion and Politics: A Guide for Houses of Worship
