From the Panel: Federally Funded Religious Charities Must Play by the Rules - washingtonpost.com: "The right of religious charities to discriminate on the basis of faith in filling privately funded positions is guaranteed by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of, among other things, religion; but it grants an exemption to religious organizations, allowing them to favor people who share their particular faith in hiring. This exemption protects the church's autonomy, and it is an appropriate accommodation of religion."
