I think as far as legislation and church/state issues, this resolution sounds fairly innocuous. However, the language "our Lord" does assume that everyone in the state shares the same faith, even that everyone believes in God. Clearly a faulty assumption.<br />Whenever state and church mix, the church has everything to lose and the state has everything to gain. The state gets theological and moral sanction for whatever it does; the church loses its integrity and its sense of catholicity (small "c" - global scope). Politically active Christians, of whatever stripe, need to be reminded of this now and then. Bo in OHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
