Religious liberty concerns have been on the Seventh‐day Adventist Church’s agenda ever since it was organized. Leaders fought battles against restrictive laws in the late 19th century in the United States.  Liberty Magazine, published by the Seventh‐day Adventist Church, has a history dating back to the 1880s.  Currently the Church is vocal about religious liberty issues at the United Nations, the European Union and other international and national bodies. Our church also supports the work of international religious liberty associations and Adventist experts serve as advisors to legislators dealing with laws covering church state relations.
