Free speech

I read with interest your commentary in the April 27 issue of The Alabama Baptist — “Never More than a Shell of What It Could Have Been.”

I feel that if you had done a little more research on the Johnson Amendment you might not have closed the article with the statement that “it seems that the amendment promotes good policy for the government and good practice for the churches.”

I strongly disagree. It seems to me that the government has used it on some occasions in an attempt to deny the Church the right to free speech.
