“President Trump’s speech was not about religious liberty; it was about perpetuating Christian nationalism,” said BJC Executive Director Amanda Tyler. “When political leaders suggest that religion is the government’s to promote, they threaten the very freedom they claim to defend.”
BJC is seeking an experienced Director of Development to lead a comprehensive fundraising program at an exciting point of change for a leading faith-based education and advocacy organization. BJC is headquartered in Washington, D.C., with staff working across the country; this position does not need to be based out of the D.C. headquarters.
“The law has never prevented clergy from speaking out on moral issues or engaging their congregations in civic life,” said Amanda Tyler. “But green-lighting tax-exempt churches to endorse candidates from the pulpit creates new pressure on religious leaders to align with partisan candidates and risk division within congregations and entanglement with campaign agendas.”
“By creating a national school voucher scheme, Congress has opened the door for taxpayer dollars to fund private religious education—undermining both public schools and religious freedom,” said BJC Executive Director Amanda Tyler. “On a day meant to celebrate liberty, this legislation erodes it.”
