Separation of School and Church

The concept of separation of church and state refers to the distance in the relationship between organized religion on the one hand and the nation state on the other. The idea was the subject of much discussion over 2000 years. The term "wall of separation" was first used in an informal letter by President Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to a committee of Baptists in Connecticut. Jefferson referred to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as creating a "wall of separation" between church and state.[1] The phrase was quoted by the United States Supreme Court first in 1878, and then in a series of cases starting in 1947.

This morning we explored the distance between Church and School. For the benifit of PRUMC Boot Camp, the distance is 2 miles. From our primary workout facility, E Rivers Elementary school to Peachtree Road United Methodist Church (PRUMC), there are 3,200 meters. Further investigation of the distance along the way, we explored all the various ways to exercise our core muscles on all the various types of grass we lay on. Upon reaching the Church, we discovered another variation between Church and School. While the school now has beautiful natural grass, the Church is sporting a new Asto Turf field. Both are comfortable for doing sit ups.

500 repetitions.
