Brownback discussed the current state of faith-focused liberty at the 2023 International Religious Freedom Summit.
WASHINGTON — Former Ambassador-at-Large for Religious Freedom Sam Brownback is a co-chairman of the International Religious Freedom Summit — and a driving force behind the annual event that aims to raise “public awareness and political strength for the international religious freedom movement.”
Brownback, a Catholic convert, sat down with the Register at the third annual summit Wednesday to discuss the state of religious freedom today, warning that threats to religious freedom were growing both at home and abroad.
The former governor of Kansas and founder of the National Committee for Religious Freedom is concerned about government targeting of Christians in places like Nicaragua and Nigeria. On the domestic front, he is alarmed by the continued church vandalism following the Dobbs decision and cases brought against Catholic hospitals and Christian pharmacists for following their beliefs on abortion and gender.
Brownback also discussed ways he thinks the faithful can get involved in response and how he draws inspiration from the strong Catholic tradition of standing up for victims of persecution.
