INFORMED BY HISTORY: Religion and Government, Part 1 -

We are starting off with a contemporary view from reverend Myra Moreland, pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Troy, Michigan. Christianity is about inclusion and spirituality and definitely NOT about exclusion or using the cover of religion to try to legitimize political goals and actions.
