WASHINGTON — Christians who support the separation of church and state should step up their battle against forces that are eroding that principle, said Rep. Chet Edwards.
In an Oct. 1 speech to a group of Baptists, Edwards (D-Texas) called for Christians who believe that church-state separation is good for both democracy and religion to make their voices heard in the public sphere.
“I’ve never been more concerned about the principle of church-state separation,” Edwards said.
He later suggested Christians who agree should form a political action committee to champion church-state separation and support candidates who do.
“If we don’t ratchet up dramatically our efforts, we’re going to lose this fight,” he said.
