On this day, we commemorate the anniversary of the International Religious Freedom Act, which established religious freedom as a central goal of United States foreign policy.
Southern Baptists have long recognized the importance of religious liberty for all people. As we continue to see developments that both strengthen and challenge religious freedom, the ERLC remains committed to championing this essential liberty around the globe for the advancement of the gospel.
