PROVO, Utah -- A group of more than 70 government officials, judges and scholars representing nearly 40 countries converged on the campus of Brigham Young University on Sunday for the opening night of the 15th annual International Law and Religion Symposium.
With the theme for this year's symposium being "International Protection of Religious Freedom: National Implementation," the opening session featured former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, who now serves as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Leavitt, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, told the group that he has a long-standing appreciation for the ability of government to work hand-in-hand with faith-based organizations.
