Baptist Meeting Examines Religious Liberty

Yesterday, the Baptist Press reported on the recent Baptist Distinctives Conference sponsored by the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Keynote speaker was Richard Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. The theme of the Conference was “The First Freedom” of religious liberty. In his remarks, Land said: "The greatest threat to religious freedom in America are secular fundamentalists who want to ghetto-ize religious faith and make the wall of separation between church and state a prison wall keeping religious voices out of political discourse."
