Shall We Dance? - 9781648831089

Echoing the sentiments of Protestants Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, in 1965 the Roman Catholic Church's Second Vatican Council produced a document known as Dignitatus Humanae, a universal declaration on human rights. This document emphasized the right of every human being to express the spiritual side of her/his nature by having the freedom to choose any avenue of religious practice s/he may find suitable. There is a long tradition in human history where the rights of others have been denied, or denigrated, and it was time to right this wrong. Whether it is by forced conversion at the hands of militant violent actors, missionary zeal, or the subtle expression of anti-Muslim or antisemitic attitudes, the result is a dehumanizing abridgment of the fundamental human right of religious freedom. Unfortunately, violation of this basic human right continues with alarming regularity in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and other parts of the world. And also, here in the United States.
