Faithbased organizations play a major role in providing a host of health educational and social services to the public. Nearly all these efforts however have been accompanied by intense debate and numerous legal challenges. The right of faithbased organizations to hire based on religion the presence of religious symbols and icons in rooms where governmentsubsidized services are provided and the enforcement of gay civil rights to which some faithbased organizations object all continue to be subjects of intense debate and numerous court cases. In Pluralism and Freedom Stephen V. Monsma explores the question of how much autonomy should faithbased organizations retain when they enter the public realm He contends that pluralism and freedom demand their religious freedom be respected but that freedom of all religious traditions and of the general public and secular groups be equally respected ideals that neither the left nor the right live up to. In response Monsma argues that democratic pluralism requires a genuine authenticampmdashbut also a limitedampmdashautonomy for faithbased organizations providing public services and offers practical concrete public policy applications of this framework in practice.
