Description

Some people argue that working for Christian freedom of religious belief for all and involvement in Christian mission are mutually contradictory errands. This is not true. Securing the right of others does not exclude, but rather presupposes, the right of exercising one’s own rights. The question, however, is how do we find the right balance between our own rights and the rights of others. Terror and violence escalate in our contemporary world. Two-thirds of the world’s population is experiencing limitations on religious freedom. What is the contribution of the Christian church and Christians in society with regard to this challenge? How is this challenge related to global evangelism?
