Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Civil Church Law, Vol. 77 The well known fact that state and church are separated in the United States does not imply that the American governments, state or national, have no functions to perform in relation to the various denominations within their territorial jurisdictions. While by the letter and spirit of their respective constitutions they are stringently prohibited from establishing any church, they are also, by the express and implied terms of the same instruments, solemnly obligated equally to protect all the churches. Their relations with all the various denominations are therefore strictly analogous to those which exist between the governments and non-religious private organizations and are without a parallel in Christendom. These relations do not rest on antagonism or indifference but on cordial cooperation. While the state by its legislative, judicial, and executive powers creates, guards, and enforces the civil, contract, and property rights of all the various denominations, these in turn, by their charitable, religious, and moral influences, save, protect, and preserve the state from an overgrowth of pauperism, delinquency, and crime. These mutually advantageous relations have grown out of the very life of the American people as a nation and have crystallized one of the fundamental principles of their political philosophy into concrete form.
