Is this a violation of EEOC Rules. Must be a church member to work in print shop?

Found this quote in a Monster dot Com ad. We can guess which church it is, but they don't specify in the ad.
"Our client is a religious organization and all candidates must be a member in good standing to qualify"

Would love to hear from HR people about this one.

Businesses can file requests with the DOL to only hire a select group of people. This is most common with churches hiring people only from their congregation and spas only wanting to hire females.

As long as they have done this, it's perfectly legal.

this is a violation of Federal law.
