[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The debate about the separation of church and state is indeed a public policy debate. No one is asserting that there is a constitutional right to not have to hear political discourse in church; rather the issue is that at my church, St. Columba's, political issue are overly intrusive to the point where a greater spiritual message is obscured. The pastors really do not seem to know or care about their audience at all.

I am indeed relieved to see the Bishop-elect Budde has a husband and 2 children. Maybe she can guide the church back to issues that really matter to Washington families.

Not the occasional appearance of a wealthy gay couple that considers themselves Episcopal. If there are gay families at St. Columba's I honestly do not see them, ever.[/quote]

You don't get it. Spiritual growth and political discourse are not mutually exclusive. Understanding how Christian teachings apply to the pressing issues of our time IS religious education. [/quote]
