The Washington Post’s Michelle Boorstein reports that this year State Department employees established GRACE, the department’s first faith-based affinity group. Boorstein writes, “It has hosted events with evangelical speakers and runs a ‘mentorship ministry’ that brings together pairs of employees to focus on ‘how being a disciple of Christ impacts your professional experience at the State Department.’” Some critics of GRACE worry that the group breaks the separation between church and state.
