Liberty Counsel Defends Religious Teachers' Housing Exemptions Against ACLU Attack

Feb 26, 2008

Tomorrow, Liberty Counsel will argue on behalf of a church in Alaska Superior Court in Anchorage to defend religious teachers’ housing exemptions. The ACLU filed suit to take away property tax exemptions for housing that is owned by religious organizations and used by private school teachers. 

The ACLU and other plaintiffs allege that the tax exemption violates equal protection and establishment clauses of the state and federal constitutions. The exemption does nothing more than even the playing field between religious and nonreligious educators, which already enjoy tax exemptions.

Steve Crampton, General Counsel for Liberty Counsel, will argue the case on behalf of Anchorage Baptist Temple, which is pastored by Dr. Jerry Prevo.

Please pray for victory against the deceitful ACLU in this case and keep Anchorage Baptist Temple and Dr. Prevo in your prayers. Besides the K-12 school, the church operates tremendous outreaches into the community including alcohol and drug abuse recovery programs, children’s programs and a bus transportation service.
