What's In a Name?

Pastor Greg! Nice blog! I intentionally limit my blog reading to only a handful of sites (and to thirty minutes per week), but I think I might add this one to my list. You mentioned a couple of times in your post the idea of our Christian heritage, or the Christian foundation upon which our country is built. I agree with you. My question is this: Do you think it is helpful to distinguish between our Christian heritage and the idea (purported by some) of our being a "Christian nation?" Also, if you could give me a post of about 1500 words on the relationship between church and state, that would really help me in Dr. Brand's class in the next few weeks! Keep up the good work. I know that with a wife, 5 children, a flock to shepherd, PhD studies, etc., etc., you have plenty of time to blog and answer questions from inquiring minds like my own! See ya soon.
