Take the Church-and-State Quiz

What role do you think the church (the community of God's people) should have in relation to government? Are you a "Radical Reformer," a "Thumpin' Theocrat," a "Private Patriot," or a "Quiet Critic"? Take Christianity Today's interactive quiz and find out.

Radical Reformers "see a strong prophetic role for the church and combine this with a robust call for political engagement to seek social and political change."

Quiet Critics "steer away from a direct role for the church in politics, instead emphasizing the church's purity by maintaining a separation from the state. From this perspective, the church best shares the gospel by being an alternative community that models Christian love."

Thumpin' Theocrats "sound the call for renewing a Christian America by recapturing its godly heritage."

Private Patriots "connect religious practice with support of the nation, but their application of faith to politics is as an outgrowth of personal piety rather than church involvement."

I took the poll, and according to the results I'm a Private Patriot:

Between "politically disengaged" and "politically enaged," I scored a 25, which is near the center but on the "disengaged" side. "Those scoring on the lower half of the chart," says the website, "may see politics as important, but they do not link it to the gospel or mission of the church. In fact, they may see political activity as a distraction from the church's central task. "

Second, between "prophet" and "chaplain," I scored a 39, which is near the center but on the "chaplain" side. "Those on the right half of the chart," says the website, "are generally supportive of the government and see the church offering guidance from within the system."
