Pence meets with Russell Moore, religious freedom advocates to discuss China's abuses
By Samuel Smith, CP Reporter | Tuesday, August 06, 2019
Vice President Mike Pence met with an interfaith coalition of religious freedom advocates Monday that included Southern Baptist ethicist Russell Moore to discuss what the United States can do to hold China to account as it continues to persecute and abuse religious believers of all stripes.
At the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C., Pence and other administration officials met for about an hour with about 10 to 15 advocates from various faith backgrounds assembled by the International Religious Freedom Roundtable.
Among the attendees was Moore, the head of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission; Bob Fu, head of the Christain persecution watchdog organization China Aid; David Curry, head of the international Christian persecution advocacy group Open Doors USA; and Greg Mitchell, co-chair of the International Religious Freedom Roundtable and longtime lobbyist for the Church of Scientology.
Joining Pence from the Donald Trump administration was U.S. Ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback and members of the National Security Council.
