Venezuelan Evangelicals Defend Church Freedoms
Faith Facts
- The Evangelical Council of Venezuela (CEV) has asked the Supreme Court for clarity on laws impacting churches and religious groups.
- Some churches lack formal legal recognition, raising concerns about their freedom to operate under current regulations.
- An advisory commission on religious freedom was formed during the CEV’s 51st National Assembly to address these issues.
The CEV is seeking legal interpretation to ensure churches and ministries remain protected and secure under Venezuelan law.
This effort follows a unanimous mandate within the evangelical community, demonstrating commitment to faith and constitutional rights.
“We trust that this step will contribute to strengthening the exercise of faith within a framework of legality and respect,” the CEV stated.
Dedicated legal advocates are working alongside church leaders to support the right to gather, worship, and serve.
The Council remains steadfast in its mission to honor God’s calling and defend the evangelical community’s interests.
