Defending Religious Freedom
Indonesia
From September 1st - 7th, we will be hosting an IVLP delegation of five (5) interfaith organization directors and religious leaders from Indonesia, along with two interpreters. With a project theme of Defending Religious Freedom, the Indonesians will visit Metro-Detroit based governmental and legal offices, worship centers, and public institutions to understand local government protections of religious rights, and faith communities and American leadership in religious liberty.
Dr. George Swan III
Chair, Detroit Future City
The opportunity to welcome and work with international delegations visiting Detroit provides a very rich experience. To be engaged in this work is significant and very rewarding. The world is becoming smaller every day and Global Ties Detroit contributes greatly in building strong bridges with people and nations across the globe.
