In this week's Texas Faith column at the Dallas Morning News, Professor Cynthia Rigby and Trustee Joe Clifford weigh in on the questions: Is the Tea Party movement taking religion out of our political debate? And if so, is that a good thing? Are we better off uncoupling faith - whether by one side or all sides -- from making public policy? Is our debate richer or poorer as a result?
