The Christian Post website reports today (October 2, 2011) that one of the most important religious cases disputed in years -- which involves the separation of church and state -- will come before the U.S. Supreme Court this week. The Supreme Court decision will determine whether or not the federal government can dictate or interfere with church authority.
Arguments for the case, Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church v.the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, will be heard October 5.
The case centers on "ministerial exception," which is a law that has been on the books for some 40 years.
The "exception" protects churches and other religious organizations from discrimination claims against them -- including issues on hiring and firing employees.
