How would you describe our state of affairs in America? And once we attempt to describe it, is there something we can do which will assist our nation to go down the right road that will please God? Our guest today is a retired pastor. He served for over 40 years - mostly in the Hudson Valley of New York State. Now he is filling pulpits in his new home area of West Virginia. He is also teaching Sunday School regularly. What is the intersection of the freedom of religion in a culture and its overall health and that of human flourishing? Do you remember what life was like say, back in the 50's? Many of you were not born then, but some of you were! What was the general consensus of the populace in those days, as compared with culture in America today? Participants: Pastor Dr. John Vance, Dan Elmendorf
