Pastor Mark Burns Unites Global Faith Leaders at U.S. Capitol Complex for an Interfaith Conference on Religious Freedom
International Interfaith Conference “United in Liberty: The Rise of Spiritual Diplomats”
Hosted in the Caucus Room of the Cannon House Office Building at the U.S. Capitol Complex, the conference will address critical challenges facing religious communities globally and explore practical pathways to peace through the concept of "Spiritual Diplomacy."
"In a world often defined by division, we gather with the understanding that the most important stance is not left or right, but standing for human rights," said Pastor Mark Burns, renowned Christian leader and spiritual advisor to President Donald Trump. "This is not about politics or partisanship; it is a sincere and open invitation to discover the common ground that connects us all."
The Rise of Spiritual Diplomats
The conference introduces the role of "Spiritual Diplomats", faith leaders who step into spaces where traditional diplomacy falls short. According to Pastor Burns, these leaders "carry no weapons, they carry wisdom" and "speak not for governments, but from the heart of God."
Conference Program
The event will feature two expert-led panel discussions:
Panel 1: Universal values and the responsibilities of religious leaders
Panel 2: Protection of freedom of faith, including case studies and legal issues
Discussions will address pressing concerns including safety for children, living with dignity and freedom, justice, peace, and the right to worship without fear.
Global Reach
Following the conference, an official video will be released in at least 10 languages to ensure the message reaches diverse audiences worldwide.
