Separation of church & state is a longstanding concern of Presbyterians in the USA, a concern predating the drafting of the Constitution. Presbyterians should reject government intrusion into religious life and attempts at establishment. This is old but worth reading: www.jstor.org/stable/23325...

Can’t sleep. So I’m reading “Unfading Light” by Sergius Bulgakov. In this extended evening, it is amusing to me that the translator says the adjective “nevechernii” translated as “unfading” literally means “no-evening.” That light is Jesus Christ.
