It&#39;s the other way around — and almost nobody has been trained on it.</p><p> </p><p><strong>September Secrist</strong>, executive director of the Interagency Christian Fellowship and a federal leader of more than twenty years, discusses what the law actually permits inside a federal agency.</p><p> </p><p>The First Amendment restrains government — and for two million career civil servants, government is the employer. The standard is equal access: if your agency lets people run a book club, hold a potluck, or talk about baseball, it cannot shut out employees of faith.
