The McCain campaign issued this response to Obama’s faith-initiative (and, just seemingly, in response to my call earlier today for just such a statement):

John McCain supports faith based initiatives, and recognizes their important role in our communities. He has cosponsored legislation to foster improved partnerships with community organizations, including faith-based, to assist with substance abuse and violence prevention. He also believes that it is important for faith-based groups to be able to hire people who share their faith, and he disagrees with Senator Obama that hiring at faith-based groups should be subject to government oversight.
