The Reconnect with Carmen LaBerge

Brent Leatherwood of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission talks about the work of his organization ministering in Washington DC, and the several of the pro-life, pro-family and religious liberty policies they are advocating before Congress and the Supreme Court. 

“We are charged by the churches of the Southern Baptist convention to go into the public square and advocate for the things that Southern Baptists care about — life, religious liberty, marriage and family, human dignity.”

Brent Leatherwood, ERLC president
