: Constitutionally CorrectSpheres of Sovereignty: Church Autonomy Doctrine and the Theological Heritage of the Separation of Church and State
By Alliance Alert (index)
Today, there are few phrases in public policy parlance more misinterpreted, misquoted, and misapplied than the ?separation of church and state.? The church autonomy cases shed light on the issue from an often-neglected angle when viewed in light of the theology and church history that preceded them.

Finally, we shall look at the outworking of this theology and history in the church autonomy cases.
