This Sunday, pastors across the country will endorse a candidate from the pulpit.
Pastor Jim Garlow is leading an effort this Sunday to defy the IRS regulation preventing pastors from endorsing political candidates or risk losing their tax-exempt status. Known as “Pulpit Freedom Sunday,” Garlow was on The Colbert Report last night to discuss the issue. Despite Garlow’s stunt, 87 percent of pastors surveyed by LifeWay still believe they should not endorse a candidate from the pulpit.
