Jerald Finney and Stephen Reeves joined us on air for the first ever Political Hope Radio Show on July 27th, 2008. I am grateful for their contribution to the success of the program, and for the work they have both put into the on-going debate over the First Amendment.
Finney's book chronicles Biblical principles relating to the separation of church and state in the , and the American history and application. Finney asserts that the church and state are separate institutions that should not be under the authority of the other, and that both are "under God".
Finney witnessed the State of Texas shutdown a church operated boys home in 1986, and asserts that the church was right in rejecting a state child care license, and the state was wrong in it closing the boys home for failure to obtain a license. Finney further asserts that the the church is compromises itself when voluntarily submitting to state authority with similar license, incorporation, and 501(c)(3) tax exemptions.
There are many issues that can be discussed here. Please join in the discussion with grace and respect.
