Supporting Our Walk In Faith
Author: JB Howick, MT43 News
Past Broadwater newspapers gave our local religious organizations the opportunity to uplift our community with articles written by congregational leaders. We would like to do that again and will be contacting our local churches for participation. In a day when people are seeking to subvert Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion, we believe it is important as your local newspaper to protect and support these civil rights.
To quote Elder Ronald A. Rasband of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “We join with ... religions protecting people of all faiths and persuasions and their right to speak their convictions. This does not mean we accept their beliefs, nor they ours, but we have more in common than we have with those who desire to silence us. ... The good of religion, its reach, and the daily acts of love which religion inspires only multiply when we protect the freedom to express and act on core beliefs.”
We look forward to reading the words of our local faith leaders.
Supporting this goal is a regular column in MT 43 News: our Church Directory.
We recognize and respect the many faiths, beliefs, and philosophies represented by our neighbors and fellow citizens. While we cannot devote space to every individual's beliefs, we encourage the organized efforts of like-minded people to do good in our community and invite every faith-based organi¬zation formally represented in Broadwater County to also be represented in the directory.
If your organization would like to be added to the directory, please send a message to news@mt43news.com.
