Irs & 2nd Baptist

NPR's Lynn Neary reports on a new initiative that targets churches for I-R-S investigations. "Americans United for Separation of Church and State" filed a complaint today with the IRS against Second Baptist Church of Houston. The complaint accuses the church of violating its tax exempt status by publishing specific, partisan voting instructions in a project pamphlet. Second Baptist Church of Houston is one of the largest churches in the country with more than 22-thousand members.
