Quote by Jim Wallis

I believe in the separation of church and state, absolutely. But I don't believe in the separation of public life from our values, our basic values, and for many of us, our religious values.

I believe in the separation of church and state, absolutely.

Summary

This quote highlights the speaker's belief in the importance of keeping religion separate from government affairs (separation of church and state). However, they argue against separating public life from personal and religious values. They emphasize that these values, including religious ones for many individuals, should be embraced and inform our actions within the public sphere. Essentially, while there should be a distinction between religion and governance, personal values should still play a role in shaping society.
