Religion in politics

Eight, universal peace Esperanto.

Nine, non-interference of religion and politics.

Ten, equality of sex, education of women.

Eleven, the power of the Holy Spirit.

Now, I preached yesterday, started a three-week series on religion and politics.

That's what I'm calling the series, Religion and Politics.

And, uh, some people are, "Oh, you shouldn't, shouldn't talk about that.
