EDITORIAL
(Subject: Purpose of Journal of Church and State)
"The relation between Church and State is the greatest subject
in the history of the West," said Emil Brunner. Questions
regarding this subject are many, and remain largely unresolved.
Many organizations, including Americans United for the
Separation of Church and State, have formed to address major
issues related to church-state relations. With the insistence on
majority rule in the modern nation-state, concern for the rights
of the minority, especially with regard to religious liberty,
should be paramount. The Journal of Church and State is
committed to exploring the broad spectrum of church and state
issues.
