I wanted to post this article because we have been talking about systems of oppression and how they interacti with eachother. Many people are under the faulty impression that the state and church are separate but as many of us know, this is very untrue as it continues to support many of the Christian causes as well as value their concerns above other groups:
More than 200 groups are doing faith-related lobbying and advocacy in the nation’s capital [Washington], compared to fewer than 40 in 1970, according to the report. Put together, the groups employ at least 1,000 people.
The above are just some findings that demonstrate how this realtionship between the Church and other oppressive systems are still occuring! While this article is based on the U.S. it is suffice to say that the same is occuring in Canada think in terms of same-sex marriage.
