Obama Plans Overhaul of Bush's Faith Based Initiatives

WASHINGTON - Sen. Barack Obama said Tuesday that if he were elected president he would have his own version of President Bush's office of faith-based initiatives that would "help set our national agenda" and inject morality into policy debates about everything from AIDS to genocide.

But Obama's plan for a "Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships" departed from the Bush administration's stance on one fundamental issue: whether religious organizations that get federal funds for social services can take faith into account in their hiring. Bush has said yes. Obama said no.
