IN THIS LETTER: Passover and Unleavened Bread in Myanmar – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Gloria and I arrived back in Thailand from Burma (Myanmar1) last Thursday. We observed Passover and Unleavened Bread with about 40 Church of God brethren from Kachinland, Central Burma, and Rangoon (Yangon). We also had one lady who came back from Thailand to keep the feast in Burma and visit family and friends. Ah Jar Shan, a graduate of Legacy Institute in Thailand, accompanied us as interpreter.

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, The following is from the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights: ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. . .’ The purpose of what is known as the Establishment Clause was to prevent government from establishing a state religion and to prevent the government from interfering with a citizen’s religious beliefs. Nowhere does it say that religion must be taken out of government. The purpose of the clause was not to take religion out of government, but to keep government out of religion.
