New Books in Our Library Minimize

 

Two new church library books—Questions that Refuse to Go Away and Persistent Voice—explain the “Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund.” Both are by Marian C. Franze, who led the effort to allow those conscientiously opposed to pay taxes into a fund for non-military purposes only. Until her death she lobbied Congress to pass a law that those opposing “killing” should be given an opportunity to pay an equal but alternate tax that the government could use for other purposes than pay for war. So far Congress has not supported such a law, but there are more Congress representatives who through education are becoming willing sponsors. Check out the books and see what you think of the Religious Peace Tax Fund proposed bill. There is also a video available for your use as a program.
