Summary
Six million Latter-day Saints across the U.S. joined a nationwide fast on July 5th—not just to abstain from food, but to pray and reflect on the vital issue of religious freedom. Rooted in a 190-year-old doctrine, this call echoes the church’s enduring belief that governments must not control beliefs. Leaders reminded members that while today’s challenges may feel new, the church’s defense of religious liberty is a long-standing, unwavering commitment. The fast was both an act of gratitude for existing freedoms and a plea to protect and expand them worldwide, uniting faith, prayer, and advocacy for a fundamental human right.
