This past Sunday, an Arizona-based conservative organization coordinated an act of civil disobedience by several pastors. Their action: preaching politics from the pulpit, endorsing or preaching against specific political candidates. Here's an AP news story about the event:

This is an interesting turn of events. These pastors are challenging the legal protections of our national heritage of the separation of church and state.

Pastors to engage in 'Civil Disobedience,' push limits of law
See: www.christianpress.com
WASHINGTON -- On Monday, November 16 at 1:30 PM, the Coalition for Faith and Freedom, an ad hoc group of concerned clergy, will rally in front of the Justice Department in Washington, D.C. to test the limits of the expanded federal hate crimes law. On October 28, President Barack Obama signed into law a measure extending the federal hate crimes statute to include so-called sexual orientation. The ministers believe this will criminalize all criticism of homosexual behavior, including that contained in the Bible.
