City Transformation: Freedom of Speech
- Pray for believers at our institutions of higher ed, that they would be bold as lions, gentle as doves, and wise as serpents, so that they excel at sharing the truth without causing unnecessary offense.
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, states that “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”
Yet in many of our institutions of higher ed, you can get suspended or expelled for something you say. This week we are praying for God’s wisdom and intervention to protect the freedom to discuss and seek the truth.
