Forum at the invitation of Pastor Bob Roberts, head of the Northwood
Church in Southlake, Texas, from Nov. 11-14.
Themed on the
necessary harmony among religions, as well as between believers and
non-believers, the forum brought together many representatives from
major religions, including Muslim, Judaism, Protestantism and
Christianity, and the White House.
Addressing the forum, Pastor
Roberts said Vietnam respects religious freedom and is a multi-religious
nation with more than 80 percent of its population being religious
believers. He said the presence of the Vietnamese Ambassador in the
forum was evidence of the Vietnamese Government’s respect of religious
freedom. He called on his followers to further contribute to
humanitarian activities for Vietnam.
Speaking at the forum,
Ambassador Phung noted the sentiments and contributions made by the US
people in general and Northwood followers in particular to the
Vietnam-US relations.
He also affirmed the fact that in Vietnam, the laws always ensure rights of religious and belief freedom for all citizens.
The
Northwood Church is sponsoring the Global Venture Inc, which has a
representative office in Hanoi and involves in humanitarian activities
in the northern province of Lao Cai and Hanoi./.
