Several hundred people from dozens of countries who represent many religions are attending the International Religious Freedom to discuss ways in which faith leaders, lawmakers and others can end religious persecution.
At the same time that governments are stifling faith-focused speech on sex, marriage and parenting, empirical scholarship is revealing the benefits of religious values on family stability and happiness.
COMMENTARY: As International Religious Freedom Day approaches, Catholics in our nation are playing a critical role in defending global religious freedom amid rising persecution.
Many of the panels focused on the intersection of foreign policy and religious freedom.
Speakers at the 2023 International Religious Freedom Summit detailed how some profit from egregious human-rights violations.
Some leaders at the summit, including Naomi Kikoler of the Holocaust Memorial Museum, cautioned that the persecution of people of faith in some countries already amounts to genocide and could lead to genocide in others if immediate action is not taken.
COMMENTARY: It's time to remind ourselves that the cause of international religious freedom is a foreign-policy priority.
The charter states that “the defense of religious freedom transcends partisanship and politics, and the protection of conscience serves as a fundamental cornerstone for the flourishing of just, free societies.”
