A Religious Freedom Resolution
whose time has come...
Words
spoken can change a heart. Words
written can change a culture.
Words agreed upon can change the
world. The constitutions of any
country codify the words of the
people and its leaders. The Bill
of Rights that
America holds so
dear was dreamed of by oppressed
people, spoken of by
freedom-loving leaders, signed
by men of vision. These words of
liberty were codified as an
umbrella for a society to be
sheltered form the reigns of tyranny.
Freedom of
religion now needs its own "Bill
of Rights." Lives are lost each
day to the fanaticism of
religion. Every generation has
seen it and no religion can look
at its history and be without
blame. It is time for the
moorings of religion to be
acknowledged globally. They
should not be politicized nor
ignored. Every mainline
religious leader of all faiths
speak of the peace that their
people want.
The
Religious Freedom Resolution
gives individuals and leaders
the opportunity to come
together, not as one religion,
but for the freedom of all
religions. Ambassadors for
Peace. |
