Romanian Conference On Religious Liberty

The Adventist News Network yesterday reported on a seminar held earlier this month in Romania on "Religious Liberty in the Romanian and European Context." The conference was organized by organized by the Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs, State Secretariat for Religious Affairs and the National Association for the Defense of Religious Liberty. A new law on religious freedom (full text) is being considered by the Romanian Parliament. At the Conference, Brigham Young University law professor Dr. W. Cole Durham Jr., said that the proposed law promotes religious liberty, but could be improved in its current "multi-tiered" system of religious organizations that gives some groups more prominence than others.
