RNS Clips: D.C. Interns Advocate for Faith-based Public Policy

Our recent story by J. Edward Mendez on D.C. interns who spend their summers advocating for faith-based public policy can be found in The Washington Post.

Dozens of religious organizations seasonally turn the District into a training camp for scores of college students and recent graduates. The internship programs, crossing religious and denominational lines, teach them how public service can be an expression of their faith. Many interns get to put their faith in action -- frequenting Capitol Hill to advocate for policy that's
infused with religious values.
