"President George W. Bush created the Center for Faith Based Initiatives at USAID by executive order on December 12, 2002 in order to work to level the playing field so that faith-based and community-based groups could compete for funding on a level playing field with other organizations."
From that statement, I take that faith-based and community-based are one and the same. I say this because of the phrase "could compete for funding on a level playing field with other organizations." That phrase means that other, non-religious organizations already get funding and to even the field faith-based should get parity. If other organizations, which must be community-based to do the same work that faith-based is going to do, then the only new place money is going is faith-baseds since community-based is already getting money.
I wonder why they add the phrase community-based when that statement is just meant to deflect the phrase faith-based.
