Topic: Church-State Relations. America’s founders wisely chose to not allow a state-church at the national level.

Topic: Our Lurch Toward Socialism.

Topic: The Not-so-United Methodists. At one time, the Methodists were quite prominent in the United States. I remember reading in one source that about as many as 75% of Americans in the 19th century were Methodists.
