Religious liberty is important for all citizens!

The first Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the free exercise of religion. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides protection against religious discrimination in general, and the Equal Employment Act of 1972 provides protection against religious discrimination in employment. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides protection against discrimination on the basis of religion.Citizens and guests of Bermuda enjoy constitutionally protected religious freedom. The governments of Bermuda and Britain have historically honored high standards of human rights.

We here at the North American Division Department of Public Affairs and Religious Liberty (NAD PARL) are an Adventist organization that is dedicated to protecting the religious freedoms of people of all religions and denominations.

The North American Division Public Affairs and Religious Liberty (NAD PARL) Department is committed first to protect the religious freedom of all citizens of North America regardless of religious preference or church standing. A special emphasis is placed on protecting individual rights regarding the two great God-given institutions which extend from creation: the family and the Sabbath. Secondly, we are committed to promoting sound public policy which may impact the family in general and the family of God in particular. In the interest of protecting religion and religious freedom, we seek to advance an appreciation for the gospel with public officials in government, in corporate America, in the labor union movement, and in all areas where influence is exercised in the development and implementation of public policy. NAD PARL supports the constitutions of the countries of North America, upholds the concept of church-state separation, and promotes the commitment to free exercise of religion.
