"Fresh Air's" Debate on Separation of Church and State

An extensive debate on the separation of church and state was featured yesterday on National Public Radio on Terry Gross' program Fresh Air. The full audio of 20-minute interviews with two authors on opposing sides of the issue are available online. Arguing for greater involvement of religion with government was D. James Kennedy, head of the Statesman Institute which furnishes public officials with resources to integrate biblical principles into lawmaking. On the other side, defending separationism was Frederick Clarkson, author of Eternal Hostility: The Struggle Between Theocracy And Democracy.
