Should religion play a role in American public life? What does it mean to separate church and state? Is that possible? These are some of the challenging questions considered as part of the "Public Religion Symposium," a joint effort between MPR's Civic Journalism Initiative and the Public Religion Project headed by University of Chicago theologian Martin Marty. As part of the collaboration, yesterday 100 Minnesota leaders joined Marty in the Twin Cities to talk about the role of religion in public life. Mary Stucky reports the symposium revealed conflicting views on a subject - religion - that's still one of our most sensitive subjects.
