Evangelical Groups Avoid Legislation, For Now- The NonProfit Times Jan 7, 2011: "Three years after a senator's inquiry into finances of some of the nation's largest media-driven ministries, a new panel has been established to tackle significant issues as an alternative to Congress passing legislative reforms.
Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, requested the help of the Winchester, Va.-based Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), which today announced the Commission on Accountability and Police for Religious Organizations. The senator’s office this week released a review of activities and practices of six media-based Christian ministries and reports concerning other churches and religious organizations. According to Grassley, he wrote to the ministries in November 2007 after constituent inquiries to him because of his tax-exempt oversight responsibilities."
