Statement of Religious Freedom

October 2010


The National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. believes that religious liberty is a gift from God.  We support the freedom of the individual conscience to choose to worship God according to the dictates of one’s heart.  And while we celebrate our own liberty to embrace biblical truth without compromise, we also support the first amendment to the Constitution which guarantees freedom of religion for all Americans.  In this light, as Americans, we join with other faith communities in supporting the right of Islamic and other religious bodies to worship according to the dictates and mandates of their faith expressions.
