Christianity Packs Its Office and Leaves the Building
Jonathan Leeman recently wrote a terrific article for Canon & Culture, a project by the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Committee, discussing what would be lost if Christianity was removed from the public square: Suppose then that all of my moral principles and I really did pack up our desk, put our files into a box, and let the security guard escort us out of the building?
