Indeed it is better to keep quiet about our beliefs and live them out, than to talk eloquently about what we believe but fail to live by it.
☦️St. Ignatius of Antioch
I'm not sure I understand your first question. Do you mean something like the interpretation/teaching of Holy Scripture?
As for the separation of Church and state: No, separating the Church from the state is not ideal. A good resource for this would be Justinian and Byzantine Political thought.
My Protestant brothers, I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

"Orthodoxy is not merely a “tradition” like any other, a “handing down” of spiritual wisdom from the past; it is God’s Truth here and now—it gives us immediate contact with God such as no other tradition can do... the full Truth is only in Christianity, God’s revelation of Himself to mankind."
☦️ Blessed Seraphim of Platina
“With us everything should be secondary compared to our concern with children, and their upbringing in the instruction and teaching of the Lord.”
☦️Saint John Chrysostomos
“When your children are still small, you have to help them understand what is good. That is the deepest meaning of life.”
☦️Saint Paisios
I read Elder Cleopa's book, "The Truth of Our Faith"... Amazing.

“All the teachers of the Church, all the Councils, and all the Divine Scriptures, exhort us to flee those who uphold other doctrines and to separate from communion with them.”

"It is essential for us to confess that the holy Ever-Virgin Mary is actually Theotokos (Birth-giver of God), so as not to fall into blasphemy. For those who deny that the Holy Virgin is actually Theotokos are no longer believers, but disciples of the Pharisees and Sadducees"
