Council for America's First Freedom

Council for America's First Freedom

"The mission of the Council for America's First Freedom is to increase understanding and respect for religious freedom in diverse communities worldwide, through education about this core human value: the freedom of thought, conscience and belief."

"The Council for America’s First Freedom was founded in 1984 to celebrate the bicentennial of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, adopted in 1786 by the Virginia General Assembly...

"In 2002, the Council further defined its mission and goals when its board of trustees began to focus its efforts on an educational center, the First Freedom Center."
