CSLR Hosts Webinar: “Law, Religion, and the Johnson Amendment”

Nearly a month after the Law, Religion, and Immigration webinar, The Center for the Study of Law and Religion joined with its digital publication, Canopy Forum once again for another virtual conference. The webinar would host panelists from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds to examine the scope and limits of religious political endorsements under these new rules. So, on November 14th, Canopy Forum hosted a virtual conference regarding the recent court filing of the Internal Revenue Service which introduced a reinterpretation of the Johnson Amendment.  

Under the direction of the Executive Editor of Canopy Forum, M. Christian Green, panelists tackled the following questions: Should religious organizations be permitted to make political endorsements? May religious organizations directly or indirectly fund political candidates or campaigns? What are the permissible limitations, if any, on political speech by religious organizations? The audience had the chance to pose questions to the panelist during a Q&A session before the event concluded.
