We've all heard the phrase "separation of church and state" but where does it come from? What Does it mean? And do we have it in the United States? Find out by watching the documentary "Church and State:  A Perspective."</div> <bR> <div> The film also takes a look at various World religions and the complex relationship between government and religion in Western history.</div> <bR> <div> With the blessings of his coworkers Charles Dewandeler worked on the documentary off-and-on between other CTTV projects for a full year before the documentary was completed.</div> <bR> <div> The events following 9/11 played a large part in convincing Dewandeler that a documentary of this kind needed to be made. "I was thinking 'why hasn't anyone made a documentary like this yet?' and then I figured 'if no one else is going to do it then I'll do it first.'"</div> <bR> <div> Dewandeler decided to keep the film relatively local by limiting his interviews to significant members of the community within the Metro Detroit area. Whenever possible he conducted interviews with individuals from within Clinton Township.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2 BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF HEIGHT= 329 WIDTH="736"><div> The documentary also contains interesting tidbits of information.

As he edited, Dewandeler simultaneously wrote the script by compiling information from not only the interviews but three scholarly books as well. "It was important to myself and my boss that I not put anything in the documentary unless I was sure it was accurate." <I>(Thus far nothing in the documentary has been disputed)</I></div> <bR> <div> After countless hours of editing and re-editing the film, it finally hit the airwaves (or should we say "cable lines") on Friday, August 12, 2005. "So far I've only heard positive comments about it," Dewandeler said, "nobody's told me they <I>haven't</I> liked it yet.

It was very informative, very well written, very balanced and very well produced. It is far and away the best thing ever to come out of a locally produced television program. It had the professional look one would expect from a national network and I was very impressed.

These groups said that teaching evolution was a violation of their right to worship freely.</div> <div> The Supreme Court disagreed, declaring that since teaching evolution did NOT support a specific religious belief and therefore was not a violation. The Supreme Court then declared that censoring evolution was unconstitutional because it violated free speech.</div> <div> However, they also decided that it was unconstitutional to prevent the teaching of creationism. But there was a catch. Government employees (i.e.. teachers) could not simply begin Bible Study again and call it "Creationism."

Those against the displays point out that only two of the Commandments are actually "laws" recognized by the State. Those are "thou shalt not kill" and "thou shalt not steel." The other eight Commandments are religious doctrine and by placing them on government property it implies that the government is encouraging them or "respecting an establishment of religion."</div>
