In America, we have a long history of valuing the concept of the separation of church and state. This idea historically referred to a division of labors between the church and the civil magistrate. However, initially both the church and the state were seen as entities ordained by God and subject to His governance. In that sense, the state was considered to be an entity that was “under God.” What has happened in the past few decades is the obfuscation of this original distinction between church and state, so that today the language we hear of separation of church and state, when carefully exegeted, communicates the idea of the separation of the state from God. In this sense, it’s not merely that the state declares independence from the church, it also declares independence from God and presumes itself to rule with autonomy.

INGREDIENTS

1/4	oz	Carragreen
1	pt	Whole Milk
1	pn	Salt
		Lemon Rind
1	tb	Granulated sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash the Carragreen and steep for 15 minutes in warm water; this will
remove much of the dried salt.
Place the Carragreen into a saucepan with the milk, salt, and lemon
rind. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce
the heat to a simmer. Make sure to stir the mixture frequently so it
does not burn. When it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden
spoon, stir in the sugar.
Strain the mixture into a wet mold, discarding the lemon rind, and
refrigerate it to set.
Remove from the mold just prior to serving.
