Can we really stand up for the right of those we think are wrong?

From the start, Freedom for Faith has held a principled decision to stand up for freedom of belief for all Australians. That includes faith communities that we have serious disagreements with. We didn’t realise how hard that decision would be.

A principled commitment to religious pluralism must not be confused with a universalist or relativist ecumenicalism. I’ve seen enough meetings like that, where liberal churchgoers spend their time apologising for Christians being Christian and see nothing but common ground with different faiths. That’s not how our breakfast feels. There’s no sense of lowest common denominator agreement or a papering over of differences. Our breakfast therefore can’t start with prayer!
