H. James Towey, director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, announced his resignation on Tuesday, saying that despite his departure, President Bush will continue to steer federal dollars for social services to religious organizations.
'The wall between church and state is still standing, faith-based groups have been welcomed into the public square, and the poor have benefited from having access to their effective programs,' Mr. Towey said. Efforts to channel aid to religious groups are 'established and will continue to bear fruit for years and years to come,' he said."
