| | PURITAN NEWS WEEKLY |
 | | Practically all Reformed churches have repudiated the idea of the Established Church, and are advocating the autonomy of the churches and personal liberty of conscience in matters pertaining to the service of God. | | | Moreover, it is contrary to the New Dispensation that authority be vested in the State to arbitrarily reform the Church, and to deny the Church the right of independently conducting its own affairs as a distinct territory alongside the State. | | | American political parties, like the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, etc., and the US federal government (with its Constitution prohibiting church establishment and religious test oaths) are examples of how this political philosophy came to be manifested. |
