“Democracy and Religion: Separate or Inextricably Linked?”
Rev. Penny Rather, preaching; Natalie Parker, Worship Associate
Our Fifth Principle calls us to affirm and promote the use of the democratic process in our congregations and in society at large. How does that fit with a commitment to the separation of church and state? How do we live this principle in accordance with our first principle (the inherent worth and dignity of every person) when others have differing views on religion and government?
