PIONEERING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ADVOCACY BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN: LESSONS AND LEGACIES

Michael Bourdeaux

The Review of Faith & International Affairs, 2012, vol. 10, issue 3, 11-15

Abstract: The author recounts his experience in the former USSR in the 1960s and his founding of Keston College (now the Keston Center at Baylor University) to document, analyze, and publicize the Soviet government's persecution of religious minorities and members of the Russian Orthodox Church. At the time, international advocacy on human rights and religious freedom was just developing, and Keston undertook comparative analyses of religious freedom in every country in the communist bloc. Today, an increasing number of organizations combine theoretical knowledge with on-the-ground experience to advocate for greater religious freedom. However, additional resources are needed.
