Faith based plan fuels debate over government aid
The plan to let private and religious charities compete for federal funds draws criticism from critics who say it blurs the line between church and state while supporters argue it expands compassionate services. Bush defends faith based programs and plans an Office of Faith Based Action to oversee grants, with some churches wary of accepting money. A lawsuit from the Freedom From Religion Foundation challenges the policy as promoting one faith. House backer Mark Souder says the approach can avoid proselytizing while complying with court boundaries. Bush and aides hosted church leaders and congressional members for a Washington dinner amid the controversy.
