Kentucky Noah's Ark park developer may alter religious worker rules
http://news.yahoo.com/kentucky-noahs-ark-park-developer-may-alter-religious-002043497.htmlWILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. (Reuters) - The leader of a group that successfully sued Kentucky to get tax incentives for a Noah's Ark-themed attraction said on Saturday that the religious organization may hire individuals who do not completely share his religious beliefs.
Ken Ham, founder of Answers in Genesis, said during a tour of the 510-foot (155 meters) boat that officials are still working on the employment criteria for its Ark Encounter attraction located in the northern Kentucky city of Williamstown.
Answers in Genesis employees must sign a faith statement that includes believing in creationism, a requirement that led state officials to pull an $18 million offer in tax incentives in December 2014 and prompted a court battle.
Ark Encounter on the other hand will have a separate statement of faith that may not have the same religious requirement, Ham said.
