Although enacted into law in four previous statutes, charitable choice has been the subject of persistent controversy; and President Bush's initiative in the 107th Congress led the controversy to become highly visible. The primary concerns have been the constitutionality and desirability of the federal government directly subsidising faith-based social service programs and whether subsidised religious organisations should be able to discriminate on religious grounds in their employment practices. This new book provides background and analysis on a number of the salient factual and legal issues about charitable choice, and also discusses the relationship of faith-based organisations with state and local governments.
