First, watch the 1-hour documentary video, Soul of a Nation (Links to an external site.), in its entirety. (This is the fifth of 6 episodes in the PBS Frontline series, God in America (Links to an external site.).)

Second, post your carefully considered response to the following prompt in a paragraph of at least 6  sentences:

This video portrays the efforts of both Christian church leaders and politicians to “marry” faith and democracyin a nation that values the separation of church and state. As Christians, we believe that faith touches all aspects of life, public and private, and as Americans, we believe that the state should not define the church (nor vice versa), in order to protect both.

Consider a person or event from this video and describe how, in your view, they/it either did or did not maintain a healthy balance between Christian faith and political endeavors. Use specific details from the video as evidence of your position.

Finally, thoughtfully read and engage at least 2 of your colleagues’ responses with a substantive reply of at least 4 sentences each. Each reply needs to answer this question: Do you agree with your colleague’s assessment of the person or event they chose? If you do agree, provide additional specific evidence that further supports their assessment from the video and/or readings. If you do not agree, charitably explain why you differ and support your own view with specific evidence from the video and/or readings.
