Separation of Church and State

I enjoy regular updates from citizenlink.com, an organization dedicated to political action among Christians, and run by Focus on the Family.

In a video released yesterday, they address the mis-conceptions so many deal with when it comes to the separation of church and state.

Too many Christians have bought into the false ideas that the “Separation” is in our constitution, and further, that it was meant to keep the government from any kind of relationship with Christianity … not true.

Jefferson was addressing the concern that a church of America would develop much like the church of England.

Truth is, Jefferson himself participated in worship services within the capital building right after penning the now famous and misused term “Wall of separation between church and state …”

One of our greatest tools in being effective Christians is to understand and hold history in an historical perspective!
