On Tuesday, September 24th from noon to 1:00 PM, IRFA will be hosting a briefing on Capitol Hill entitled, “Bigotry or Basic Right: Myths and Musts About Religious Hiring.” Our guest speakers will be Kim Colby, Senior Counsel of the Christian Legal Society; Steve McFarland, VP and Chief Legal Officer of World Vision and Stanley Carlson-Thies, President of IRFA.

They will be discussing such topics as:
