“We know also from our reading of history, that a certain tension between the Church and State is desirable. When Church and State fall out completely, it is ill with the commonwealth; and when Church and State get on too well together, there is something wrong with the Church.”
T. S. Eliot, Christianity and Culture (The Ideo of a Christian Society & Notes Toward the Definition of Culture). New York: Harcourt, Brace, and Company, 1940/1949, page 71.
