Has the doctrine of separation of church and state become so wide and rigid that our clergy are intimidated into virtual silence on matters of human decency and societal relationships? Religious leaders of all faiths are remarkably missing from the public dialogue on a long list of pressing issues of genuine concern to most Americans
that inevitably become unproductively politicized. Has principled governance and spiritual Godliness given way to secular greediness on nearly all aspects of our contemporary existence? Is there no higher calling when authoritative persons in elective office give evidence of treasonous deceit, falsification and corruption?
The 2024 election looms as a pivotal event for our 247-year-old Constitutional democracy.
