... the freedom to attend any church I want to and/or every church I want to without worrying about discrimination or persecution.
In Russia, many countries in Asia, and North Africa religious persecution still exists. “For simply belonging to the wrong religion, countless numbers of people have been killed; many others have disappeared and still more have been imprisoned indefinitely.”
~John Pontifex, Editor, Religious Freedom Report
Well, we can for now- but the covid restrictions are rapidly becoming an excuse for shutting some church activities down. I'm praying Christians of all denomination will remember this foundational freedom of ours and stand up for it! Beautiful picture and very important words by John Pontifex.
A lovely capture of the sculpture. I too am glad that we can worship (or not) almost however we'd like. I have to remind myself of that too when I get too judgmental.
