Abstract
"Religious liberty is a subject of perennial interest among Baptists. The Constitution of the Baptist World Alliance states that one of the primary purposes of this organization is "the safeguarding and maintenance of full religious liberty everywhere, not only for our own constituent churches, but also for all other religious faiths," and every Baptist World Congress issues a manifesto on religious freedom. This may be regarded as one of the fundamental principles of Baptists, one on which they all agree; and in this area Baptists have made a significant contribution. Their interest in religious freedom is related to their emphasis on the personal and voluntary character of true religion. "
