General Conference Department of Public Affairs & Religious Liberty, Seventh-day Adventist Church

Have you expressed gratitude to the Almighty God, to your country, to those who gave you religious freedom, to those who died or were persecuted so you might be free to choose your religion?

In more than 130 countries around the world, religious minorities have freedom to organize communities, to print books, to own churches or places of worships, to share their faith, and to educate their children according to their religion.

Now is the time to say THANK YOU for the great gift of religious freedom wherever it is found!
