So the language is a bit constraining, but overall it does a great job helping people create a paradigm for rating how 'political' a church should be, and how 'patriotic' a church should be. I plan to have our whole church take this assessment and anonymously plot their scores on the screen. It will be fun. And, it classified me accurately as a Radical Reformer. On Politics- of course we have to be engaged, salvation is spiritual AND social. On Patriotism- while we need to respect our governing authorities, America is just another Rome.

As a thumpin theocrat, I have to react with surprise. The first two questions in part one were not relevant in my opinion, and my answers forced by the fact that the assessment required them to be answered hardly reflect my real feelings. Therefore, the results of the assessment could hardly be valid. Separation of Church and State is essential. I don't want to see a far right approach, can't stand fraudulent Intelligent Design advocates, despise fundamentalists and the literal interpretation of the Bible and most certainly do not advocate more involvement in government except to make it very clear that those who serve in government need to be of the highest integrity and moral grounding and their participation in the church of their choice would be a critical factor in my individual support.
