Baptist Official Speaks on Church-State Issues

On Friday, the Baptist Standard reprinted parts of a lecture given earlier in the month by Brent Walker, executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty. The remarks were part of his Maston Christian Ethics Lectures at Hardin-Simmons University’s Logsdon School of Theology. His title was "The Top 10 Lies About Church & State". He contended that "lies" about the relationship of church and state in America were being perpetuated both by "people who should know better", and by other "well-intentioned souls who simply have been misled".
