Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
Several candidates for the presidential nominations want to see the government establish more partnerships with faith-based organizations to provide social services and strengthen communities. Some religious groups worry there may be strings attached to tax dollars, and other observers are concerned about preserving the separation of church and state. A panel talks about what the country stands to gain from “charitable choice” and what it stands to lose.
