Seperation of Church and State

Not trying to get into a big fuss over the establishment clause, but how is the lastest IHSA policy banning prayer before State tournament games played at private schools not exactly what the 1st amendment protects against.  The State is restricting religion in this case.  This is one of the reasons people send their children to religious schools and now they are told they cannot pray there?

Not of this world...


The ELCA (Lutheran) Task force, a 15 member team has decided to recommend to the leadership to allow clergy in committed gay relationships to serve openly.  A few years earlier the leadership ruled that gay pastors could serve as long as they were celibate.  While I did not believe in this form of "don't ask don't tell" at the time it is a far cry from this current stance. 

This new ruling condones relationships of this kind through out the church.  While I beleive people have a right to self determination, I find it disturbing in the church.  I would like your opinions.    Read the story here http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-lutheran-task-force-web,0,1159342.story
