People of faith can and do have something important to  say about what the role of the U.S. should be in the world today.  While we believe in separation of church and state, we don't  believe people of faith should have to check their values at the  door when they enter into the fray of public discussion.  We need a  national discussion on the role of the U.S. in the world and people  of faith need to be a part of the discussion. - Rev. Bud Heckman,  Executive Director
