Name: Black Currant Iced Tea
Ingredients: 4 Black currant tea bags; 4 c Water; 1/2 c Simple syrup; 1 tb Simple syrup; 2 ts Raspberry vinegar; 1 Lime; cut in 4 wedges

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.
