MLK was an ordained minister... while some more conservative sects (I assume you mean the Christian Church) will point to biblical texts stating that there is no authority but which is ordained by God, there are multiple interpertations on that text. Most Christians would say that they are in favor of civil disobedience... especially because to some extent the early church was involved in civil disobedience just by worshipping (see: nero) and if you look at the lives of the martyrs they were as well, for example St. Valentine was preforming illegal wedding ceremonies I'm not sure as to the Vatican's stance, I know the society of friends advocates civil disobedience in the form of refusing to take part in war, the mainstream protestant denominations are as a whole silent and allow it to be addressed issue by issue (many who are arrested blocading abortion clinics were encouraged to do so by their pastors but the evangelical church was not so keen on the civil rights movement-- oops)

its to do with the church belonging to the community etc etc and it is seen as a good deed to donate to the repair of a church.  Not all churches are "ruled" by the Vatican though remember, since Henry VIII the Church of England has been seperate.

I really do not believe you can separate the church and the state. People are part of the state and they are also members of their respective churches. \n\nJust go to a church whose beliefs and teachings you are most comfortable with.

Disestablishment is the act of seperating church and state.  So antidisestablishmentarianism is the belief system that Church and State should be one.\n\nA good use of the word would be:\n"Bush is foolish for thinking that antidisestablishmentarianism is constitutional"

Religion just needs to stay out of politics. Once politics start getting influenced by one sect of religion facing up against another sect. It will most likely lead to civil war.

He's a leader of a church -- we'd all be a lot better off if church leaders would stay OUT of politics completely rather than get more involved.  Their involvement in politics over the centuries has caused more trouble than any other single influence.

The Edict of Milan (AD 313) declared that the Roman Empire would be neutral with regard to religious worship, officially ending all government-sanctioned persecution, especially of Christianity. The Edict, by two Augusti (senior tetrarchs) Constantine the Great and Licinius gave to Christianity and other religions a status of legitimacy alongside Paganism. It initiated the period known by Christian historians as the Peace of the Church. The document itself does not survive.

It probably means that a church is being split into two different groups or sides with no middle ground.  For example, the church members may be extremely liberal or extremely conservative with no members that fall in between.  I'm just guessing, though.

Not many realize it. It is what the Bible calls the "apostasy" in the end times and the basis of it is deception, that is why so few see it. Many do recognize it but are hindered by the question what to do about it. God told us that there would be four signs that indicate that the church had apostatized, \n1) The Church would become a "singing" church (Which it has)\n2) The Church would lose interest in the Bible (Which it has)\n3) The Church would become worldly (Which it has)\n4) The church would believe that everyone has the right to worship God in his own way. (Which it has)\nDon't be surprised if the church fights you on this, God said that in the last days they would not endure sound doctrine. They will throw you out, and many have been thrown out. You are not alone.

"Civil Disobedience" is one of the best things our founding fathers ever came up with... if enough like-minded people get together to stage a protest in a peaceful manner, it can shape policy. How brilliant was that?\n\nI feel this is one of our fundamental freedoms as Americans, and when the day comes that these sorts of people are hauled away as 'dissidents' or 'enemy combatants' and thrown in jail with no trial for life, that is the day America has failed as a Democracy. In China they just run over you with a tank.

If you are asking for historys sake, Ronin is right about the mostly Protestant, and Anglican thing. (In England.) If you are asking for now a days... don't worry so much about what church is right, and focus on getting your heart right. Your local pastor isn't going to be your judge, God is. Line up with His rules. Get a relationship with Him. Notice I said relationship, not religion?
