IRS SHOULD INVESTIGATE NORTH CAROLINA CHURCH THAT EXPELLED DEMOCRATS, SAYS AMERICANS UNITED
East Waynesville Baptist Church Immersed In Partisan Activity, Church-State Watchdog Group Charges
Americans United for Separation of Church and State today called on the Internal Revenue Service to investigate a North Carolina church whose pastor garnered national headlines after he expelled several Democrats from the congregation.
Recent actions by Pastor Chan Chandler of the East Waynesville Baptist Church in Waynesville, N.C., are merely indicative of a larger pattern of partisan political activity at the church, Americans United asserts.
....
In a letter sent to the IRS today, Americans United requested an investigation of the matter. AU noted that during his sermon last Sunday, Chandler was unapologetic for supporting and opposing candidates from the pulpit and promised to keep doing it.
From an AU e-mail sent to me today.
