As a keynote speaker at the inaugural South Carolina Religious Liberty Conference, Elder Ahmad S. Corbitt emphasized the importance of upholding the United States Constitution, being optimistic about the nation’s future and the need for all to “be peacemakers.”
“Focus on our commonalities as people of faith, and unite around the Constitution,” Elder Corbitt said. “In this spirit, we increasingly see the U.S. Constitution as encouraging, even requiring, communication and compromise.”
Elder Corbitt, a General Authority Seventy and a member of the Church’s North America Southeast Area presidency, joined with others in speaking to religious and civic leaders, organizations and community members from across South Carolina and beyond on Wednesday, Jan. 15, the day before National Religious Freedom Day in the United States.
