As we make disciples, we respect persons of all religious faiths and we defend religious freedom for all persons. Jesus\u2019 words in Matthew provide the Church with our mission: \u201cGo therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you\u201d (28:19-20), and \u201cYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. . . .
