“It is a blessing to be a part of the dedicated IGE team that works towards respect, reconciliation, and religious freedom. I trust that when one understands religious freedom—also known as freedom of conscience—it is the beginning of the freedom and the rights that God grants equally to all human beings, and that they will value, cherish, and protect religious freedom for themselves and others.”
