As of essential importance in town churches which are not at all equally necessary in the country.

Politics are not the task of a Christian.

Others don't want to listen to viewpoints that members of the church have.

We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.

Since politics fundamentally should be a moral enterprise, the church in this sense has something to say about politics.

The church is not a political power; it's not a party, but it's a moral power.

But separation of church and state was never meant to separate God and government.

I think the founding fathers believed religion shouldn't interact directly with government.

The church, inserted and active in human society and in history, does not exist in order to exercise political power or to govern the society.

People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.
