James Talarico Explains Why Church And State Must Stay Separate
Jul 8, 2026 #JamesTalarico #Christianity #ChristianNationalism
James Talarico argues that Christianity should inspire public service without becoming a tool for political power. In this sermon, Talarico challenges the rise of Christian nationalism, defends the separation of church and state, and explains why he believes democracy depends on protecting religious freedom for everyone. Drawing on the Parable of the Good Samaritan, he argues that loving one's neighbour includes respecting people of different faiths and beliefs. Watch the full sermon as Talarico explores the relationship between faith, politics, democracy and the role of the Church in modern American society.
