, 23:18, July 10, 2009school prayer?
This is an interesting article, and I've learned a lot from it. But the section about the SDA's desire to respect a Christian Sunday perplexes me - "The concern about establishing a Christian Sunday expanded into opposition to the establishment of a "Christian" identity for the nation, and opposition to school prayer. This led to easy alliances with secularists in the American political spectrum." I don't understand that? How did their "concern about establishing a Christian Sunday" lead them to 'oppose Christianity and school prayer'?! It seems like they are completely opposite instincts? Can that point be clarified? --[[User:KipDonner|KipDonner]] 19:08, 10 July 2009 (EDT)

:::Really?! Very interesting, I never knew that! And how about the objections to school prayer and collaborating with secularists? --[[User:KipDonner|KipDonner]] 19:18, 10 July 2009 (EDT)
