In the beginning...

So, for anyone stumbling across this blog, "Welcome!"
This blog is a class assignment, but aside from it being mandatory, it is a place where I will be just posting ideas about Christianity and it's relationship to the culture it finds itself in, being that that is what the class is about.

Today at this school (of the mostly-average Christian post-secondary liberal arts variety) there was a political forum with 6 of the candidates from nearby ridings for the upcoming (Canadian) federal election. Which brings up a good question... what is the relationship between church and state? Should they be separate or are we Christians supposed to try and merge the two?
So there's my first question, so, good day!
