Living Freedom: ‘Freedom of conscience - 21st-century challenges’

Features the lecture ‘Freedom of conscience: 21st century
challenges’ recorded at Living Freedom Summer School 2023.
  


For many centuries, in religious and secular times alike,
societies have wrestled with dilemmas as to how we should live in
accordance with our inner-most thoughts and beliefs. What should
we understand by the term freedom of conscience, how did it
emerge and why is it so important? What are the main threats to
conscience-based freedoms today?
