“News, by and large, has been the purest of all the television mediums, or at least we've tried to keep it that way, and there constantly is the argument about the separation between church and state.” WayHas BeensStatesChurchTelevisionNewsArgumentSeparationMediumsChurch And StateSeparation Between Church And State Author:Leslie Moonves
“Some men at the approach of a dispute neigh like horses. Unless there be an argument, they think nothing is doing. Some talkers excel in the precision with which they formulate their thoughts, so that you get from them somewhat to remember; others lay criticism asleep by a charm. Especially women use words that are not words,--as steps in a dance are not steps,--but reproduce the genius of that they speak of; as the sound of some bells makes us think of the bell merely, whilst the church chimes in the distance bring the church and its serious memories before us.” ThinkingMenUseRememberSpeakSoundChurchMemoriesStepsSeriousGeniusApproachArgumentCriticismHorseLaysDistanceCharmBellsDisputesPrecisionTalkersChimes Author:Ralph Waldo Emerson
“As women are taking an active part in pressing on the consideration of Congress many narrow sectarian measures, such as more rigid Sunday laws, the stopping of travel, the distribution of the mail on that day, and the introduction of the name of God into the Constitution; and as this action on the part of some women is used as an argument for the disfranchisement of all, I hope this convention will declare that the Woman Suffrage Association is opposed to all union of Church and State, and pledges itself as far as possible to maintain the secular nature of our Government.” StatesGovernmentActionLawUsedNamesChurchAtheismArgumentConstitutionUnionsCongressPositive AtheismActiveConsiderationSundayAssociationConventionsMailSecularStoppingDistributionIntroductionChurch And StatePledgeSuffrageWoman SuffragePressing On Author:Elizabeth Cady Stanton
“The form of religion was always a trivial matter to me. ... The pageantry of the Roman Church that first mothered and nurtured me touches me to this day. I love the Protestant prayers of the English Church. And I love the stern and knotty argument, the sermon with heads and sequences, of the New England Congregationalist. For this catholicity Catholics have upbraided me, churchmen rebuked me, and dissenters denied that I had any religion at all.” FirstsMatterFormChurchPrayerArgumentEnglandCatholicThis DayDeniedSermonsSequenceProtestantsNew EnglandTouch MePageantry Author:Mary Catherwood
“I know that with consecration on the part of believers, separation from the world, disentanglement from enslaving sins, and a mighty baptism of the Holy Spirit, the church would become a conquering power in the world, not by its constructed theology, not by its Sabbath services, not by its arguments to convince the intellect, but by its simple story of Jesus' love, by the Cross, the Cross--God's hammer, God's fire.” KnowsWorldStoriesSpiritJesusChurchSinSimpleFireHolyArgumentCrossesIntellectBelieverSeparationTheologyConquerHoly SpiritConvinceHammersBaptismSabbathJesus LoveConsecration Author:Abbott Eliot Kittredge
